Xenon upgrade

How do chaps, I'm kinda new to this melarchy and have searched the forums but couldn't find anything - maybe 'cause i'm a newbie???!

Anyway, onto the subject at hand. I'm looking into getting some xenon lights for my MkIV Ibiza Sportrider but I'm unsure as to whether or not I can just go ahead and buy bulbs for the headlights or whether I need to buy a conversion kit or something along those lines?

Any advice would be much appriciated.

Cheers

search for HIDs you will find loads on it. basically to retrofit xenons your looking at £1000 plus. to fit a HID kit your looking at about £35ish from ebay

Ahh..

Cheers for the help mate. How come you can't just plug in the bulb and it'd work??

Forgive me for being so clueless lol

xenon bulbs are 1. a different style of bulb to your halogen and 2. require a ballest pack to work.

if you look at page 11 of my readers ride thread you will see what i mean!
