They are illegal for the most part, especially if you have normal non projector lenses.

"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."
http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roadsafety/drs/hidheadlamps
Just to let people know they aren't legal, don't really care whether they fit them or not as i'm no angel, although they are annoying to other drivers.

I got a set of H4 from www.turborevs.com and they look awsome to be fair. Very bright, intense blue that probably isn't legal even though they state they are. £150ish new i believe.
