Default HID conversions

Anyone on here running a HID conversion kit on they HD?

Seen kits on eBay for around $50 with slim ballast that should be able to fit in the headlight housing...

Just wondering if anyone is running one of these and happy with it?

Avoid those ebay $50 kits, most are not worth the time and bother.
Really good systems tend to be far more expensive and will really last.
The cheap ones die fast and some have been known to cause all kinds of problems.
Some are just low beams with no hi beam option so read carefully before you waste money on them.
