They worth it? Or just loads of hassle?
Guess I'd need the adapter brackets too?

I recommend them just because of the longevity you get from them compare to std bulbs.

Are they going in projector lamps or reflectors?

As said hid direct, but if they are not going in projectors it's an mot failure.

You'd be better getting a decent set of bulbs rather than hid's

I was under the impression that you can get HID kits for reflector headlights. I have seen H7'R' kits which are supposed to be for reflector HL's.

P.S. Although I have no experience with reflector kits so cannot comment of their effectiveness.
