Adrian you will need D2S bulbs. I think my Bi Xenons are from an early car and it actually had D2R bulbs in it, exactly the same as far as I could see though so maybe the R has now changed to S. I'd recommend 5,000k though. No yellow hue like you get on the 4300k. They have made an amazing difference in reflections etc...
Edit: Audi are right in the sense that Xenon bulbs have 20,000 volts going to them when you initially turn them on so keep the key out the ignition and lights of when you change then and you'll be fine. Audi want £100+ each a bulb so don't bother with them, I think standard fitment was osram. Powerbulbs.co.uk should sort you out for about £40ish quid.
