you are about to be told by everyone myself included that angel eyes look sh!t on anything other than bmw's but if you want angel eyes search ebay for "ccfl" you can buy just the angel eyes and then you can fit them to the quad lights if there is enough room, i had to cut and glue my ones in (not a mk3 bolf btw)

In a word, yes.............. The quads should have projector lenses in them so HID bulbs will work how they are meant to in the quads.
However, there is much debate on the legalities of this, according to MOT legislation, HID's should have fully working self levellers and have washer jets...........BUT........... there is a kind of loop hole here, where as, if the washer jets and self levellers are not there to test, then they cant be failed for not working properly, in which case no MOT fail??!!??!!
You are gonna get a whole bunch of people saying NO!!! They dazzle people etc etc
Then you are gonna get a whole bunch of people saying YES!!! Do it, there is no issue with HID's in projector lenses.
The likely hood of you getting stopped/fined/failed on an MOT for running this set up is next to zero
The likely hood of you dazzling people and generally getting on peoples nerves, if you don't get em set up right, is quite high
