as rhyso has already said mine were a factory fit option so fully legal  :cool:

IIRC they were a £700 option at the factory but not many people ticked the box as its only really recently that people have started to realise how much better they are.

the law says you can retro fit xenons however you need to fit appropriate headlight reflectors ie change the cluster to the xenon one not just change the lights (like the cheap kits)
you also have to have the washer jets and auto leveling
