you might like to rethink fitting HID bulbs ,have a read here

Therefore a HID headlamp unit sold in the after market should:

1. be type approved to ECE Regulation 98 as a component.

2. when fitted to the vehicle should enable ECE Regulation 48 to be complied with (although no government inspection will take place).

3. Comply with RVLR as far as "use" is concerned.

In practice this means:

1. The headlamp unit (outer lens, reflector, bulb) shall be type approved to ECE 98 and be "e-marked" to demonstrate this. That can only be done by the headlamp supplier - Hella, Valeo etc. who must test the headlamp in an independent laboratory.

2. Once fitted to the vehicle it must have headlamp cleaning and self-levelling (which can be for the headlamp or can be in the vehicle suspension - some expensive estate cars have "self-levelling suspension" and that is adequate). Also the dipped beam must stay on with the main beam.

3. The headlamp must be maintained in good working order, kept clean, and aligned/adjusted correctly like any other headlamp.

Under the Road Traffic Act 1988 it is an offence to supply, fit or use vehicle parts which are not legal.

In summary it is not permitted to convert an existing halogen headlamp unit for use with HID bulbs. The entire headlamp unit must be replaced with one designed and approved for use with HID bulbs and it must be installed in accordance with the rules stated above.

If you require any further information regarding the regulations covered by this fact sheet, please contact the DfT at the address below:

Have a look here for a review of replacement blubs,

Read Review of top 10 H4 Bulbs | H4 Car Bulbs | H4 Headlight | Philips Bulb | Car Headlight Bulbs

I got some osram blue blubs and though there are slightly better, its not night and day (so be speak, lol) difference. You can illegal blubs that output more Watts then legal max (used for rallying mainly) 90w instead of 55w but that is up to you if you want to take the risk.

Not according me, but a review (that is a couple of years old).

I got my kit off ebay, try messaging them as they may do a kit for your car but not have it listed.
