H.I.D. Anyone?

Has anyone got one of these? Looks very cheap for an H.I.D. setup?







Here is the Link:
HARLEY SOFTAIL DEUCE 00-06 XENON HID CONVERSION KIT on eBay, also Harley Davidson, Motorcycle Parts, Motorcycle Parts Accessories, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 03-Aug-08 2000 BST)

Could be the answer for all those that complain about the Candles H-D use for headlights.

Sorry people, I now realise this is for a single element bulb, not Hi/Lo.
This was tacked onto the end of their ad: "This kit will fit 99% of bikes. The kit comes complete with 1x Xenon HID bulb and so is suitable for bikes that use a single headlight as a dipped beam or main beam. Please check your user manual to ensure this kit is compatible. For further advice please contact us"
Thought it was a bit cheap. Sorry, I got too excited thinking I found a good H.I.D. system.

I have a genuine Harley HID kit on my bike, although I would not recommend it. HID only relates to the dip beam, not main. My car also has HID, a system which only works satisfactorily when on continuously, so doesn't suit main beam.

HID converts 12v d/c supply to 84 v a/c, which is what those 'ballasts' in the picture do. My HD unit has two reflectors each with its own bulb in the one unit, so I suspect converting an existing headlamp would only be possible where main and dips are separate, such as a Tour/Road Glide with twin headlamps.
