I have 2 friends with 05+ trucks with Harley lights and both have HID's. I've driven both trucks at night and didn't have a problem seeing, I've got HID's in my 450 now and the visual effect was about the same.
No you should be good, the reflective part of the harley lights is identical to the regular lights, the only difference is the lense material around it is either chrome or black. Scott runs HIDs, and a couple others i have seen look just fine. I have been wanting to do it forever, but the budget seams to flex more for engine parts rather than lights.

I love my '05 HD lights with Retro's 4300k kit. They work really well. Nobody flashes brights at me. I see the road better than I did with Silverstars and the upgraded harness.
55watt 5000K Retro kit in my OEM Harley lights...light pattern is exactly what you'd expect for an HID bulb in a non projector housing.
Much brighter...not as focused as a projector...still infinitely better than stock.

i need to adjust the lights a little higher..i did it by eye and didnt want to blind people..i also should have taken these pix in a field rather then a old rail road yard...there is a steep hill to my right..
Low beam
I'm running the 55w 5,000K Retros with the OEM Harley lights and it's a huge difference over any Halogen bulb. The only thing I noticed was the side light was very wide. I blind other drivers when they drive next to me on the freeway.
