Hi, loads of topics about this - try a search 
Also see http://www.disco3.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Headlamp_Part_Numbers
Either adaptive or non adaptive will work, although adaptives will only be correct if they've been taken off a D3 when level. The "correct" fitment to upgrade your halogens is non-adaptive xenons. 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Sorry Martin, but that is just  I've adaptive's fitted and the level is just fine - and I've moved the bulb holder and put it back to a position that looks right - and had them checked at my local MOT garage before the MOT test and they were fine - and they went through the MOT the other week.
People worry too much about fitting adaptive's, thinking they will move - I've off road a few times and they don't move.
Corner lights are cool too - though a complete waste of time, unless it is really dark  Mark.
