Default Where to buy HID?

I am going to purchase an HID conversion kit and was wanting to know who has got what and where you got it? I am looking at this kit and wanted to know if anyone has purchased from there or can advise me on a good buying and product experience elsewhere.

Hrm, I was considering them until I saw the shipping. I know they do that on eBay a lot to make the product seem less expensive. However its still not a bad price, especially considering its a dual kit. Is there any different in hooking up a dual kit?--I know RRs have dual head lamps, but my old lady doesnt.

Oh snap, I was looking at this one:

What is the difference between these then, other than the price listed and the little picture lying about how much they sell them for. Some are listed at $19.99 with $90 shipping.

The ones Foxy recommended are tops, I'm speaking from experience.

They're $89 shipped to your door and if you can plug in a desk lamp, you can install those. Rrasco, take the second HID and sell it with the ballast and ignitor. Hell, you could make your money back on that alone. Surely you know someone you ride with that would like an HID kit for $60... ?

Here's how those work, plug OEM headlight lead into the ballast... ballast has a lead coming off that plugs into the new HID. Doesn't get any more simple than that. Toughest part is finding where to best mount it.

Yea, I was thinking of just saving the other one too, as backup parts. Considering I'm a lone wolf rider anyhows. I'm not concerned about hooking it up, looks like easy ****.
