you'll want H7 bulbs... something like these: http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/categories/hid-kits/hid-kits-by-bulb-type/h7

thanks! i look at these http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/h7-35w-ultra-canbus-hid-xenon-conversion-kits/

Kits come with two bulbs, not too sure how many bulbs my headlights have must be like 6!? so does that mean i need to buy more than one kit?

If i were you, I would only get the one kit as the rest of the bulbs won't be worth changing over to HID's

I believe just converting current headlamps with hids is illegal. In that link it even says for off road show.

Without washers and an auto-levelling system HIDs would fail an MOT and are therefore illegal.

You are better off just changing the bulbs for whiter ones.

I'm looking into doing this ATM too but the majority of people say it's better to just swap the bulbs to brighter ones so I'm going to try this option first :)

This question has been asked many times on the forum, have a search for HID's you'll get loads of advice on fitting etc. You only need one HID Kit for your dipped beam, main beam will take too long to warm up if you need to flash your lights.I bought mine from HIDs direct they are good quality and very helpful if you have any problems.

Basically HID's are illegal but some MOT testers will pass them as long as the beam pattern is OK. Of course as you have a 2012 model you won't need to worry until next year anyway. When the MOT is due just swap the bulbs for your standard ones.

Brighter bulbs will never be as bright as HID's although I have heard that night breakers are pretty good.

Em your 1.25 edge has reflector lights not projectors,right?

If so, don't bother with HID lights. All you'll do is wind up everyone else up at night as the beam will be all over the place.

Reflectors and HID lights are a waste. Fine in projectors though if fitted properly. Obviously as above it's supposed to be an MOT fail and technically illegal but there you go...

Good point about reflectors I hadn't realised that
