Do you mean genuine xenon headlamps from MG Rover or an aftermarket kit? The answer is yes to both but different things need to be done.

Could you give me brief pros cons of both methods and ball park price

My assumption is Xenon lights give out much more light (daylight) but very low glare - the ones i've seen coming towards me give off little or no glare at all

Is that like xenon bulbs or did you buy kit??

Hi mate, HID bulbs are simply replacement bulbs with ballasts to alter the voltage.Just plug in using all original wiring.Dead easy & 100% better in my opinion.Ebay usually has them emarked for £40- 50
