HID bulbs won't do you any good if the car isn't equipped for HID headlamps. HID's require a ballast. You'll have to buy a kit online. Quite a few of us have done it with the X-Type and it was a fairly straight forward install. I'm not sure about the S-Type, but I know that I've heard of a few people here installing HID kits.
So it's possible, but you just can't go plugging in HID bulbs into a car that isn't properly equipped
