Real HID/Xenon Headlights

I am considering doing a HID conversion on my '01 Ram Sport, and am curious as to how anybody else has liked a similar kit on their trucks. The search function doesn't show much of anything, so I figured I'd draw up a new post.

My concern is that the excessive vibration might have some ill effect on the gas charged bulb, or the ballast (although I'm doubting this on the ballast).

Before I drop potentially $500 on a kit, I'd like the piece of mind of knowing they're not going to vibrate away to nothing in a matter of months.

Thanks in advance all.
