I got it from a buddy who owns a custom bike shop. He ordered it from Wyatt Gatling. I'm getting ready to take some pics and will post 'em in a new thread so I'm not hijacking this one.

Here's a pic with the headlight I was talking about. The lighting sucks, but I'll get some better ones outside. You can see how big this thing is. I like it!

In most cases you can tuck the ballast and all wiring inside your headlight bucket. The light is amazing and they last forever. A lot of people are recommending Silverstars and bulbs like that, but I can tell you that they look like candles compared to an HID bulb. If you still with 4300k or 5000k (temperature of the light) then they're very white and not blue at all. I just bought a kit for my Night Train that I'll be installing in a few days. This is the kind of kit that has bulbs I'm talking about. Got mine from hidcountry.com .

This is the kit I used. Bought it on sale at cycle gear $59. 6000k. I've got a Cone bucket (non stock) and it was tight cramming all the in there. But I did, and the light is a big improvement. Made by Street Metal.
