while i agree that a complete retrofit would be more suitable than

i think if you look into it further, you may find that while HID

manufacturers, there are no HID 'upgrade kits' that are legal in any state.

It's an assembled unit (not made by a major
manufacturer) consisting of a Wisconsin VD4D (I think)
diesel engine and an unknown alternator.
Wisconsin engines are pretty bulletproof, so it's
probably a good deal for someone if they can get it on
the cheap. Probably no larger than 10-12kW, based on
and ebay can charge what they want b/c they have a near-monopoly on the
online auction game.
