I'm sure they are the standard w5w bulb size, could be wrong tho.
They can be a bugger to change tho. I think I had to take the whole headlight out to do mine iirc.

Legally, no, but as the morettes have a projector lens for the dipped beam it's technically ok as long as they are aligned properly. As long as you stick to 4300k or 5000k bulbs you won't have any issues. 6000k bulbs and above is just asking for trouble

If they have a projector, check that the HID bulb will physically fit.
