Cooper S (2010) HID Installation

Okay, I know almost nothing about HID kits. I wanna install a HID headlamp kit onto my car but I don't want to ruin anything or mess up anything and then have to pay a ridiculous amount of money to fix it. What kit do I need to get and what do I need in the kit?

Also, I know that I will supposedly have issues with the "headlight out" notification and I dont know if that will cause my headlights to not work. So will I have to do something about that?

As I said, I have no clue where to start. I dont know what kit to buy. I dont know what kits to avoid. And I dont want to spend crazy amounts of money for this. Please help!!!!

I think the cheapest/easiest route is ebay headlights(projector) with the hid kit i think it is h1, and some ddm bulb out warning resistors, not 100% sure, i know hid kit on halogen is a pain in the *** and looks like crap, even prius headlights would look better

I posted a bunch of information in another thread not too long ago, it had a lot of info about HIDs, projectors and all that good stuff. Link is below, hopefully it will help give a little guidance. Any questions just ask, i'm happy to help!

The link goes to my first post with info, there is a couple more after with more info as well.
