Halogen light bulbs are a type of incandescent light bulbs and are filled with a halogen gas. The halogen gas gives the bulbs a longer life than traditional incandescent bulbs because it helps redeposit the evaporated tungsten back to the filament. Halogen light bulbs are not the same thing as compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL bulbs), which have Mercury inside and are often subject to state or local disposal regulations. Also, halogen light bulbs are not recyclable like CFL bulbs are.

If you put xenon bulbs in a mk IV jetta 2001 wolfsberg will it damage any of the wiring?

Not at all, because you don't put Xenon BULBS in your car. (The cheap little "Xenon-like" bulbs that are direct replacements for your headlight bulbs should not be purchased because they cut down the amount of light you get--it's just a coating on a regular bulb, and all a coating can do is take away light, never add it) You put a Xenon SYSTEM in your car, and the most inexpensive systems are around $900.
