Yes they do. Hids4u do xenon replacements and if your still on the originals from 2005, it could literally be an en-lightening experience for you!Bodsys Brake Bible

And when you change the xenon bulbs you can change the high beam H7s as well, found the +100% bulbs really improve things. Very cheap upgrade at ~£20.

I bought the xenon bulbs from HID4U http://www.hids4u.co.uk/D2S-Upgrade-Bulbs-...5000k.html and the Philips x-treme +100% H7s from Amazon for £20. Everyone was a lot more expensive for the H7s then but Advanced Factors were recently doing an excellent price on Osram Nightbreakers.
