HID Xenon Conversion Kits - Advice/Using One?

Hi

I've not long bought a 996 and have just finished a cosmetic restoration. I've been looking at these HID kits (for xenon bulbs) as, when taking the headlight unit apart to demist it, I may fit one of these to at least the dipped beam and maybe the high beam.

Has anyone on here fitted them? are they worth the £100 or so for both? Is it such that MOT testers take a dim (no pun intended) view of the high beam being xenon/high power. Do they omit more heat than standard halogen bulbs (the info I've read says they actually cut heat output).

I'm interested as I think they both look good and boost safety with a brighter/clearer light which I habitually use when riding anyway.

All thought welcome.

Peter
