I have a 6000K HID Kit on my 2004 America and I love it. There was HID on the bike when I bought it from a Brit from Nottingham (how fitting!) Recently the ballast and lamp went out and at the time they blew it drained my battery so had to push start in 2nd and ride home with my fog lamps on. Took it to the dealer and they checked the charging system which was fine so I ordered a replacement kit through
www.hidmotorcyclelights.com I got two lamps and ballasts so now have a reserve and the system I put in was much simpler in wiring using the original wiring. I removed a relay they had to the battery and the old ballast had a remote igniter so I took off the old crap and the light is great. It is more blue than the fogs but with the 55w H4 6000k I have two 35w fogs on the side and the different color really stands out at night and day. The previous owner did not use the fogs much as the color did not match but this helps to stand out from the crowd.
Since it was already set up for HID I just exchanged the units so really do not know what the original bucket/lens was. There is a shield over the lamp so the light is indirect as you cannot see the lamp from the lens side.
