The increase in performance is phenominal on *real* HID not those crappy fashion bulbs (which I used on a motorcycle cycle just for kicks, I think they are incredibly dangerous to use).
I recently got a HID kit for my Ducati (which comes with lighting that makes those old 6v VW's look good) and the improvement was more than I had hoped for. Plus the system draws less current once running.
Whatever you do, if you go HID you *MUST* have the proper projection. Either a properly designed faceted lamp reflector or a projector type housing (many can be found without too much trouble) or the beam will be out of focus and if used on a low-beam they will likely blind oncoming drivers.
If you go HID you simply must do it right end to end or don't do it at all. Outside of going to a true HID sysem, Philips VisionPlus lamps always get the nod for pest performance and build quality (a bright lamp is not much good if the filiment is not possitioned correctly - focus is king).
Good luck and post pics if you execute a HID conversion..
