The dual headlamp with halogen bulbs is not an HID. Harley offered an HID low beam kit for that headlight.
Halogen bulbs use a filament. The majority of headlights are still halogen.
HID uses a gas charged lamp that has a ballast. The ballast excites the gasses inside the lamp, this creates light.

The dual bulb is a dual lamp kit that comes with two separate halogen lamps. It separates the high and low beam functions.
The other is the HID version where the low beam is HID and the high beam is halogen.
The HID version requires installing the ballast and bracket. It doesn't wire into the headlight original wiring, the high beam halogen does.
I added an aftermarket H8 HID kit to the Harley-Davidson HID kit. My hi beam has a little (5 sec) warm up on the initial but it is really bright!!
I also ave Harley-Davidson fog lights as auxiliary lighting.
If you don't have anything yet -- I'd buy the dual lamp halogen one and buy a H7 and H8 HID kit(s). Splice the kits together, and leave the stock headlight wiring. For the H8, I have an off road 60W HID. People don't high beam me for long.
Hope this helps.

If you are running dual hid/led.
Hid is superior to led. Super bright. But the led PROJECTOR headlights do a great job as well. Not so sure led bulbs in a regular halogen housing is good though. You wont get the same affect as if it were in a projector lens.
For dual bulb HD headlights. Go with HID - low, LED -hi. The led response is less than 1 sec. Hid takes about 5 to glow fully.
