it's all about lens and light diffusion physics. There is nothing to do with light type. It is really possible to design LED that will fit in our cars and respect the OEM light emission pattern. Is there already a kit out for B7s? I don't know.

But it's not impossible to find kits for mk5, mk6, nissans, toyota, etc.

many early 2000 cars, had hid with standard reflectors.

This as been said, if the light is not tested or designed to repect the original light pattern, I won't use it, I might cause issues with visibility for the driver or others.
