Coming from the Euro scene, one of the features I missed most was HID head lights. I love the Escalade but couldn't justify the price just to get a few creature comforts I desired. With that in mind, I did a few minor cosmetic upgrades (LED interior lights, centered the TAHOE logo on the lift gate) and saved my pennies for a proper HID setup. I did quite a bit of research and found the easiest way to go (for me) was to buy a turn key set of retro'd lights. I looked into the forum sponsor Black Flame but felt like I might be able to find something cheaper than $1K + shipping. I continued my search and found Vision Autoworks. Out the door I got brand new lights with Morimoto Mini H1 Bi Xenon Projectors for $760 shipped. I opted to pay more for the better XB35 ballasts due to better cold weather start up than the 3Fives. The output is incredible compared to the anemic stock halogen lights. I setup the wiring so I could retain the stock high beam as well as being able to use the bi xenon feature. Needless to say I would recommend sunscreen when the high beams are activated. Everything is sharper and driving in rain and snow I'm able to see much more detail and topography of the road. All in all, I'm extremely happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anybody.
