Monster and HID's - Ducati.ms

Just bought a new Evo and the stock light while good would like to get a little more light. Was thinking of swapping out the high beam but it runs a H3 bulb and I hadn't seen an hid kit for them. Plus hiding the ballast poses another issue. Anyone have them installed on there bike? Any issue's I should also consider besides heat.

I've been trying to find one for my 696 as well but for the low beams I've heard three different bulbs now
cycle gear say's there H4 and the dealer says its either an H1 or H7

my concern about the low beam is the headlight turns on when the key is turned on, then the starter interupts power to the ballast until the engine starts which can short out the ballast and damage the bulb. High beam was the next logical step because I can control the on/off, but the flash to pass would be comprimised as the bulb takes time to power up.
