H4 bulbs dont fit the zxr, however they will if u cut the two lower tangs. Look on the main site under the work shop n theres some pics and instructions on it.

The standard fitments i think u can only get from kawasaki.

H4s are fine, just cut off the two lower prongs and grind a little notch. If you can stretch to a HID xenon kit (about 80 per bulb and ballast) you'll never regret it. I run now with just one bulb, a 35w xenon, and It's miles better than two premium 55/60w h4s, and frees up over 80w of power, useful for running heated grips. It might sound alot of cash, especially if you want both bulbs to be xenon, but my top speed at night has jumped by about 20mph. Think of another mod that can do that! I've got a full thread on here, just search for hid and xenon. There's also a link to the bulb modding page, and to the place i bought my kit from, recommended by mcn, harris racing, and most of all... Me! Ask for longer cable whilst there, they're free.
I do 700 miles a week in all weathers including snow, that's roughly 35,000 miles a year, and some weekend warrior biker has the nerve to get out of his Audi at work to tell me to I was riding far too fast in the wet (over taking at 50... fast eh?).
