I am running a pair of IPF900 spotties and am thinking of converting them to 55watt HID. Just wondering if anybody had any advice or opinions.

I am advised that there is a new kit by a reputable supplier I use. I will post up the details this weekend.

I have been using a 55 watt kit from Predator Lighting here in Brisbane since 2009 without any issues.
In my case i actually changed the spot lenses to a spread beam as it suited my use much better, plus I found the HID bulb gave a excellent spread beam as opposed to the spot which while extremely bright became more of a figure 8 pattern.

Thanks for the comments and advice. I think I will convert them and see how much they improve. THANKS

I've converted my 900 XS IPF's to 70w HID and love them. Did Cairns to Hervey Bay overnight and are both spots. I rely on the high beam for spread. Came from a place called New Pro Tech, was given the link here on PP. Great kit, simply unplug standard globe and connect the ballast and ignitor, both of which a fitted inside the housing. That way you keep the IPF's watertight integrity. About $240 a kit from memory.

Cheers,
Dusty

Yep, New Pro Tech said in October 2012 they were updating their kits.
