Has anyone installed an HID kit in their sled? How has it worked and how is the durability with the temp extremes and bouncing?
(By HID kit I am refering to the whole system with actual Xenon bulbs and ballasts)

why not get a pair of 85/55 watt bulbs, so you can use low beams when people are aproaching.
no hi/low for HID

I am considering getting the unit with the hi and low beams. I have a buddy who has retrofitted projectors into his car to make the HID work how it should, he has offered to do it my sled so I don't blind people coming at me. Just curious the durability of these under the conditons...
Venom,
The link you posted are not true HID, they are Halogen with a tint to them. Just FYI if your are looking for true HID

I work with most of the Automotive lighting companies and looked into retro fitting an automotive HID unit into my Viper. I found out that if your sled does not have a battery, it cannot produce consistant enough current to keep from burning out the HID unit. A guy I work with added HID lamps to his enduro bike and kept buring the units up. So if your sled has a battery you might get it to work. G.B.

HID with hi and low use a mechanical device to cover and uncover part of the filament. I can't see it working well and lasting on anything but perfect trails.
