Becarefull with a true HID conversion, may be illegal in your state.
Some state that in order to use it, it has to be a factory install.
Some HD's have it, if you can find one and want to do it, that's the way I'd do it.
If you read the ads for HID conversion kits, most say not for street use in one way or another. If you're in a state where there are inspections, you'd have to reinstall the stock lamp for inspection. Cheap HID's are low beam only, but aren't shielded not to cast light in the high beam.
IMHO, it's not the type of light (halogen vs HID) it's the lense. I have a stock 55/60 bulb. In highbeam the light is ample, but low beam is as good as moon light. Someday I'll gather up some lenses and find out.
