I've been bored outside of work lately (crappy snow in the mountains and crappy weather down here) and have recently got the urge to do something to my bike. I've considered installing a HID kit. It might be fun to tinker around with the bike while it’s hibernating. Anyone done this and regretted it later because of reliability or any other reason. I honestly don't do too much night riding as it is, but when I do it would be nice to have some extra light coming out. At the same time I don't want to sacrifice OEM equipment only to have a ballast fail or my lights not work when I really need them.

I've considered a DDM Tuning kit that is reasonably inexpensive or a more expensive (made for R1) kit from A&R Motorsports.

Thoughts, opinions or should everyone go back to cop talk and politics?
