.........or there are those 'Xenon' bulbs on Ebay? I am just on the verge of a 9-5 Aero Estate Purchase and would like to have better lights on the car.......this car doesn't have any Bi-Xenons. Any ideas anybody?
Don't mix up a real HID kit with those rip off Xenon bulbs you find on ebay. HID use Xenon gas to create the color within the bulb. You can find Halogen bulbs which are Xenon gas filed as well. These xenon gas filed halogen bulbs look far less yellow than normal halogen bulbs but are far from comparable to actual HID ones and the lighting they emit is greatly weaker.

Don't worry about it not having xenons. The 9-5 factory xenons arn't actually any better than the non-xenons fitted with brighter higher watt bulbs such as the Phillips or Osram stuff.
The factory xenon's have a very sharp cut-off, and I know a few 9-5 owners that would rather not have them in fact.
HID provide an un parallel lighting output per wattage. A halogen bulb can't even make it close to HID light output, it literally like 2 ,3X brighter and the lightning makes it further.
many thanks for your contribution here. I have decided to wait and get a 5 Speed Auto with Paddle shift........and if it has Xenons then so be it.
Much appreciated
Cheers
