Default Xenon headlight bulb upgrade - whats that all about?

After 6 years, plus whatever the previous owner got out of it, one of my
headlight bulbs has packed up. A quick google tells me things have
changed since I last had to buy a headlamp bulb. Prices seem to be IRO
£7.50 for a single decent bulb
http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/H7-...b-OSULTH7.html
and the websites are pushing 'xenon upgrades' such as "H7 OSRAM Night
Breaker Plus +90% More Light 50% Improved Life Upgrade Xenon Headlight
Bulbs (Pack of 2)" for £27.50/pair
http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/H7-...-NEW-pair.html.
Also there is a "HID Kit"
http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/H7-...rsion-Kit.html
for over 90 quid and comes with what they call a "ballast" that looks
like a high votage converter.

Any thoughts on these 'upgrades'?
