Theres often confusion about this, the bulbs above are standard filament bulbs filled with Xenon gas which produces a whiter light than the more common halogen gas filled bulbs. Osram SIlverstars are Xenon bulbs for example.
When people talk about 'Xenons' as on the full fat 182, what they really mean is HID (High Intensity Discharge) lights which are totally different, and use very large voltages (but lower currents) to produce a spark arcing across a gap between two metal plates to produce light rather than a filament. They are also filled with Xenon gas, hence their nickname.
You can fit Xenon filament bulbs to any car, but 'Xenons' of the HID variety need charge packs and different bulbs and wiring etc. HID conversion kits are available for around £100 though.
