Default HID Headlamp/bulb recommendations?

My mom just got a new Tahoe yesterday, and she wants HID headlamps since she had them on her previous car and liked them better. I know that our local O'Reilly's has some for about $15 but are those really HID or just superbright? I'd like to find the ones used in the new Escalades, but I have no idea where to even begin looking for them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks negra07!

I would've ended up trying to get the $15 kits, but I've seen some on the road and they look very cheap. I like the ones you linked to, they look great. My dad almost bought some for his Tundra from the same seller, I think. I don't know why he ended up not doing it.

Also, my mom misses all the chrome from her Navigator, so is there a way the dealer can install the chrome pieces like the grille, handlebars, and mirrorcaps?

About how much would it cost to get it installed?

Best bet is to just check with your dealer service mgr. Someone on the forum may have a number also.
