Default HID Conversion question

Hello! I just bought my first bike, a 2008 Ninja 650R. I'm looking into doing an HID Conversion kit and I am a bit confused. Do I need to buy 2 different kits, or just one. The kit that I'm looking @ is this one: High Beam: H7 Full Xenon HID Conversion Kit | XenonHIDs.com

The site has 2 listings. A low beam and a high beam, but it also shows 2 inverters in the picture.

My question is: Is this a good site for these kits? If so, Do I just order 1 kit?
Thanks in advanced for your help!

I'm not familiar with those kits but have you considered LED instead? They seem to work better with the stock reflector, the HID will mess significantly with your beam width.

The LAST thing you want on a motorcycle is to blind opposite lane traffic due to excessive beam height (which almost occurs with hid and the stock relfector).

The kit came in. I've tried LED and I really wasn't impressed. The HIDS are awesome.
