Round ones should be H6024 and square ones would be H6054.   Those would be Geneal Electric numbers

Without tearing one open and studying the optics I couldn't tell you their quality, but for true HIDs that aren't just giant glare machines, expect to pay $600-$2000 for the lenses, housings, projectors, ballast, and bulbs.

Fairly new on the market are 7" round LED headlights.  They are supposed to be amazing.  About 6 months ago they were $300.00 a pair, I think they, along with all LED's have come down quite a bit since then.  If I remember correctly Grote was the manufacturer.  i have switched all the lights on my semi and trailer to LED's, they are much brighter and last forever.  Only 1 drawback, since they don't produce any heat, snow can get on them and not melt.

When you change to halogens, you can also do a relay upgrade. Makes a world of difference!
