Default Anyone try aftermarket HID?

Howdy. Anyone every use the HID kit from SoCal? http://www.socalmotogear.com/Harley-...it-p/hslhk.htm

Considering the upgrade but want to hear feed back. I'm currently using the stock lighting and am not wanting to drop $1,000 on HD lighting.

Thanks in advance, everyone.

I was told to take the lamps to NAPA and they have replacements LED's for around 300.00
Have not done so, NAPA is closed till tomorrow.

Why a PM? Are you afraid to share your opinion publicly?

I have the LED from Socal in my passing lights on my Glide, and had them on myfatBoy lo, Flawless bright as hell and durable. I used Headwinds LED for the Mainlight as well. Very very bright. Lights up the whole road. Compliments on them all the time.
They are the 6000k lights, PURE white. Awesome for around here in the country .

I have the SoCal HID system on my 2011 Limited. Easy to install. Better light than what was stock. I've had them on for for about a year now. No issues.
