That's about it.

UK cars don't have HID's fitted as standard.

Nasioc have all the details of how to do it. Also charge speed do the headlight conversion kit for about £100. Apart from that wings lights bonnet bumper and slam panel. Wiring the lights is the tricky bit, but not to hard! There's a step by step guide on nasioc.

It's possible but some things should just not be attempted
