Converting the H4 (right side) to HID is easy - Got mine direct from China off ebay for £18 a year ago and it was a drop-in fit.
The H1 (left side) is more tricky as you can't use the existing bulb holder and you'll have to make something to hold the HID H1 (I used 15 sheets of PTFE oven-ready-meal tray, cut to size).
HIDs are bloody marvellous BUT they will (should) fail MOT so you'll have to return it to standard once a year.
I have bought 2X HIDs from randomly selected Ebay vendors in China and they have both worked fine.
They REALLY want your positive feedback and offer good customer service.
On the other hand, Osram "nightbreaker" and the similar Philips things are also very good and require zero modification.
Beware this route, there are a zillion forgeries and lookalikes out there - stick to branded products from reputable sources.
