I would forget trying to upgrade the lights on these - there's just too much to do and I've not known anyone attempt it because of the expense and time involved.
So, from left to right in the picture:
The Dynamic Bend Lighting - unlike your car which will use a standard H7, mine uses the pain in the A*s HP19W bulbs - these will be my next project in converting these to LEDs - but I will need suitable resistors for these particular lights and they are also a PITA to get free with little room to get to.
Next are the directional Xenon's - these work perfectly for me - I upgraded the stock Xenon bulbs to the Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited Xenarc at £130 for the pair - so I am now a lighthouse on wheels with main beam on at night - excellent range.
Then there are the 'Side Lights' - the innermost position of the cluster. These are a weird type but basically take a W5W stock bulb - yeh, right! Those went straight away, and I now have some of these that I have just fitted. I'll try and get a picture later on for you to see at night:

The design of the light housing and reflector prevents head-on glare as the beam is scattered behind and around, with the front of the bulb blocked by the silver dome you can see in my original picture. So it gives a good dissipated white colour without dazzling oncoming traffic.
Sounds good, I'm very jealous, the cheapskate who speced my car didn't bother with xenons, the nav or massaging seats
Am I right in thinking that the daylight running lights are of the G4 fitting type?
