I took some time to calculate what those dual bulb HID H4's would create. The units listed on eBay are 6000k bulbs.
6000K HID bulbs = 2500 lumens per capsule. 2x2500 on low capsule + 2x2500 on high capsule = 10000 lumens out of both headlights.
In comparison:
60/55w Halogens = 1500 lumens per bulb on either low or high. 2x1500 on low + 2x1500 on high = 6000 Lumens.
80/80w Halogens = 1900 lumens per bulb on either low or high. 2x1900 on low + 2x1900 on high = 7600 lumens.
5000k HID = 3000 lumens per bulb. 2x3000 on low = 6000 lumens (which equals stock halogens with BOTH low and high turned on).
So - if (and that's a big if) you were able to get ALL the light efficiently onto the road and into a useable pattern with that eBay special, you would have quite a bit of light - who needs additional lighting?
