It's now illegal to fit HID conversions to standard reflector light housings.

You can however fit the Xenon lights that were an optional extra on the Mk2 Leon

I wouldn't advise xenon conversion because it seems that it's all different wiring and alot more extra wiring plus additional parts to make them legal, in the long run it'll cost a fortune plus if they become faulty it's also expensive.
For standard halogen I'd recommend nightbreaker bulbs, they are much better than the standard bulbs but still nothing compared to xenon. They do appear whiter and distance is quite abit better in my experience. Cost about £20.
