I have a 99 1.8T, standard lights/bulbs, can i use any hid/xenon/hyperwhite bulbs? or do i need to get new headlights in general?

no, you cannot use hid (xenon) bulbs
replacement bulbs must be h7's. there are hid conversion kits which include a (real) hid bulb and ballast, but they're pricey.
as for xenon, there are h7 bulbs with xenon gas in them. personally, i don't like them and think they cut light output.
for clarification i differentiate xenon hid and xenon-filled h7 bulbs as hid and xenon bulbs respectively. they are not the same thing.

you COULD use some of them, I dont recomend them at all....
I have a pair that im taking out today, they DRASTICALLY decreased light output, and they dont even look that much better.
