i suggest you get 4300K which is stock on all factory cars. it gives the best lm which is 3200lm. the higher or lower you go from 4300K the less light your going to get. i got mine at https://www.kbcarstuff.com/ i think there bbb certified dont know but they didnt ripp me off, there pretty well known. (source where i found the company: http://www.webbikeworld.com/t2/hid-motorcycle-driving-light/)
do some serious research before purcahsing, please dont buy ebay kits. i mean you can and they will work fine but its better to buy the best and not waste oyur time replacing and paying shipping. the bulbs might be cheap, but the shipping going to kill you at the end if your finding yourself buying them over and over. i've had mine since may and i am at 2290miles now. and i installed them at 15miles. i had no problems easy plug and play, no cutting but had to buy some extra wires(radioshack spindle gauge 16) and no problem with vibration. it brights up the street 180 degrees(ok maybe like 170)
dont worry about digital ballast, just get the normal fat ones, i heard the digital have issues still.
if you have any questions PM me cause i wont check this thread again.
sorry i dont have any pictures.
oh and that company have kits specificly for motorcycles(enough wire) but i found myself having to make my own when it came to getting it near the battery.
if you get anything other then 4300K then its not japanese made or german made
Phillips is the best brand and they sell them in the kits which is generally 200
authentic is better ;]
less head achs
Best 200 i've spent on the bike

4300 K slim ballast kit off ebay, installed march 09. litle over $100 for the kit, including shipping from china! 
No problems to date. this is a regular car kit. comes with 2 h7 bulbs so I have both my hi and low lights converted. no wires to run back to the battery... just plug into the socket that was plugged into the back of your bulbs and everything works like new.
I have converted 4 cars with ebay kits and have never had a problem with any of the kits. That's been my experience.

hey kkim.. would you mind going to your history to locate that seller? i'd love to get the same kit since you had such a smooth process.. thanks!
be sure to specify bulb type (H7) and color temp when ordering. (the linked auction is not for h7 bulbs. ask the seller to be sure of what you are ordering)
You can also seek out vendors of this site that sell HID kits.
I was just sharing my experience as you were, too. no bashing taken.
as a caution, anyone's experience may not be as good as I've had, so your advice may well be the better of us two.
If anyone feels a need for a warranty, I'd suggest buying from a site vendor. If mine ever fails, I will just go back to stock. So far, so good.... and with that, watch my lights not work tonight!
