I got two relays from JC Whitney for like $15 total, some 12g wire and one 80/100 watt bulb. The light is super bright yet because of the good reflector design, is well focused so it won't **** people off. I like how there is a gill like look to the light on the sides.

HID will give you a cool color 9bit bluish), but the combo I am advocating is so bright, that s is a good thing that the Kat has a good reflector.
Oh, in case you are thinking of it, do not not try a blu tinted bulb to get that "HID" look. I tried one with the relays and it gave less light; it looked rather dim.

The HID's do have some great advantages over the "old-fashioned" bulbs like a longer lifespan (immune to vibrations/shocks) , less-stressing off the battery (pulling less current), safer for the harness and last but certainly not least emitting much much more light than ANY conventional bulb.
Just be sure to choose for 4300K or 5000K colortemp.

Did you design your own kit, or buy one? I would like to install HIDs If I can. More info please..

No design by myself this time, I just bought a set. (actually two, because I needed a H1 and a H3 socket)
Just try to get a set for a bike, in your case you need Bi-Xenon or just dump highbeam and take a regular single filament. (lowbeam will net you as much light or even more than your stock highbeam....)
