DDM Tuning makes a very nice (and small) HID kit. Their customer service and their products are excellent.

:+1: i went with the ddm tuning, they run about the same price as what u are looking at, and you have the option to get the 55w ballast for an extra 15 bucks, a no brainer for me. Also the install was much simpler than what i had envisioned
i got mine from seller hidgate on ebay for i think around $50 shipped. i have them on my truck and bike with no problems. depending on the price of the ones with the lifetime warranty i would probably go with them instead, i just hadn't heard of them before i got mine. i heard of the ones that i got from a chevy truck forum that i'm on and everyone there raved about them.

Are you talking about the headlamp? The hid kits come with a ballast. The hid kits are fine and work very well. No problem what so ever. If there was a problem then you would hear about it.

IIRC, Another plus for DDM HID's, you can choose the temp (color) you want. I want the ones bodymanruss has, 6K. They are awesome.
I found ddmtuning on bimmerforums.com. They have complete HID kits for older BMW's, very reasonable prices and the lifetime warranty to boot. Ask for Casey.

On a ZX10R, no problem. The Projector type headlamps don't seem to have any issues with the HID bulbs.
If you plan on putting them on a different bike though (or a car) that has the reflector type lamp....be careful. Since the Arc of an HID bulb is not the same shape as the filiment in a conventional bulb, it sends light rays scattering in every direction.
I had an HID on my CBR1100XX. I could light up street signs when the headlight wasn't pointed anywhere near high enough. It looked great for me (lots of light everywhere!), but other drivers didn't appreciate it so much. It blinded everybody. In some states I think they're illegal to install them in a headlight housing that isn't built to accept HIDs.
On a zx10, go for it though. Be careful of the $50 kits on ebay, mine always had trouble getting started. They just flickered for a while.

Dunno, but I bought the replacements here: http://www.starrotors.com/bulbs/
the white "Super Bright 6-LED Bulbs $9.98 (pair)"
and they fit and work perfectly. They match the HIDs
