Complete OEM Halogen to HID headlamp swap

This is a VERY common topic from what I've seen, but I have a specific question regarding the swap of OEM halogen headlamps to OEM HID headlamps. I'm in the process purchasing a set of OEM headlamps(HID) and wanted to see what(if anything) will be need to complete the swap.

Its just the housings themselves, so I know Ill need ballasts and bulbs, though Ill more than likely stick with halogen for a while. Which would be...not...H7? My wife's MCS does not have the headlight cleaners, so would the chrome trim just swap over?

Any insight? Below are the current lamps, and the ones Im getting. Much appreciated!
