I installed hids for low and high beam... without lens. Just bulbs. Can't see a thing at night even with blinding lights.
Is there anyway to install hids properly with lens and keep usual headlight ?

In short...no. These headlights were not designed for HID bulbs and will scatter light like crazy if HIDs bulbs are used. Another words you'll get more light ouput but not focused where you want it. You would have to retrofit a projector inside the factory headlight to have a "proper" HID system.
Where can I buy retrofit? [Dolph]
funny.... theretrofitsource.com ---I have ordered from them before both motorcycle and car...very good quality, but you can also ebay and make your own relay wiring harness.

And this was another option beside retrofit, but use LED lights: http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=56891.0 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=56891.0)
do a search on the Accessories & Mods boards you will find more discussion.
I did search prior installing hids, I don't remember plug and play headlight replacement. [coffee]
