Projector [Xenon] Headlamps & LED Tail Lights

So I'm looking at these projectors:
http://www.kbcarstuff.com/02_05_MINI...hpmini01tm.htm

I'd have to purchase the HID Xenon kits for that, correct?

And this tail light:

(the ones show in picture)

How do ya'll think that'll look on mi carro (see link below)?
Also, does anyone have any better/cheaper links for what I'm looking for?

Thanks!

I don't think I'm allowed to link back to ebay, but from what I can tell the kit that you provided a link to was 450 w/o the HID kit.
On ebay they have what appear to be the same headlights WITH the HID kit for 350 buy now.

got to ebay motors then type mini cooper on the top and select "parts and accessories" from the drop down menu. I then organized it by pirce highest first and it was the 6th item down on the 2nd page.
I just thought of this after typing all of that. This is the item# 160228041579. I think thats allowed I think that there are also a few threads on those headlights if you search..

LED tails are always a good look

Now I feel like a dummy. Haha. Thank you so much! =)

edit: Is there a 3rd brake light available in LED? I've seen some on ebay, but they don't offer them in a black setting.
Also, as far as the LED tail lights go, why order from MossMini ($360 w/o shipping) when you can order from NewMINIStuff.com for £150.00 w/ U.S. shipping (roughly $295)? NewMINIStuff.com offers more varieties as well.

Our 3rd brake light is already LED. You could always tint it with Lamin-X.
