All is good now.....My scoot has a volt meter and it shows 13.4 with the HID's and everything on and going down the road. When my R/R went the volt meter just showed battery voltage which was 11.3 with the engine running....

Thanks bhinch, that answers a lot of my questions right there! I don't have a volt meter handy, so I wonder if seeing if this is totally bad would be as simple as unhooking the battery cable while it is running and see if the bike dies?
I need to hunt up a meter... Mine walked away somewhere!
Did you replace the rectifier and blocking diode as a set, and where did you get your parts at?
Thanks!
