I did an HID retrofit on my 99 Mustang.. I know that the halogen reflector and lenses arent designed with HID in mind.. and there are a lot of people out there that bash plug and play kits.. but I bought the 5000k kit (white light not the ricer blue or ACK! purple). It is so much better than the stock halogens...

I am hesitant to put it on a bike... HIDs do run cooler than halogens, draw less power and last longer.. but you will have to mount the ballast (1) and run the wiring to the battery and the stock wiring.

Up to you... I'm just not sold on the HID on a bike thing... then again I ride during the day... never at night yet... and I run high beams daytime anyway.
