B.) if you do somehow fit them they will not light...xenon gas discharge in a HID requires a ballast setup and is diff than what ignites a halogen bulb.
Hi this is what I am referring to:

OSRAM D1S 66140XNB NIGHT BREAKER UNLIMITED Xenarc Xenon Brenner N16 | eBay

on my 2004 VW Touareg that the HIDs started flickering, I ordered and replaced myself (no ballasts on anything else) the HID bulbs with new D1S.
