Hi Dave and welcome.
If you have the sealed beam lights like of the old minis etc, then they are only about 35w. The halogen bulbs will be a higher wattage so depending on what your wiring is like (thickness and age) then you may need to wire them through a relay to prevent burning switch/wiring out.
The fitment should be the same
Hope this helps

I changed the whole unit on mine and didn't need relays or the like. That said electrics isn't my strong point  Tony |

Hi guys, I have also changed my original mini style sealed units and they work fine from the standard tiger wire loom with no required alteration other than a small bit of cable jointing at the light plug connector.

I would guess your wiring is going to be upto standard if it was built in 2005. Are you using sierra stalks? If so, at least you know the switch is going to be ok.
Maybe ring tiger and ask them. They should be able to assist one way or another

Dave I had a word with Paul at Tiger and as I thought the loom dosn't need any alterations at all
and they sell the same units for £40+vat with the Halogens
