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.
the ballasts on these things are tiny now. the only wiring you have is unplug your bulb and use those wires for the hot and ground on your ballast.
