Re: divvy asking a question on head lights
As far as I'm aware:
HID requires a conversion of your lamp and adding/exchanging some components as it's a different system in it's self. Xenon is just a different type of bulb I think which is likely to be brighter than standard.* If you just want brighter, whiter looking bulbs with miminal effort people rave about osram night breakers and phillips extreme's. Not sure if they make these in the H7 though - would guess they would. I got a pair of Osrams (I think, might have been the phillips's actually) off ebay for like £10 posted. *However, reportedly unlikely to be any good if bought from a ebay chav shop.

Re: divvy asking a question on head lights
And if you use the code 'STRATHY' you get a nice big discount on that site
 Costed up a pair of H7 with slim ballast for my sprint last night, price went from £132 down to about £95
