Probably not. At the minimum, you'll need the self-leveling mechanism in addition to a different LCM for the Xenon light.

Sorry I'm having a hard time understanding....you have regular bulbs? Yes you can add HID just make sure you buy a kit that has the resistors so you do not get errors. Should be around $50 or so for the entire kit. I would personally go with 6000K to 8000K. Now, If you are wanting to change the halogen light reflectors (Im assuming you mean the silver backing in the headlamp) that is a no-go. You cannot open the headlight. If you do not have projector lamps, you just do not have them.

Keep in mind you may have to do some retrofitting of the actually bulb in the housing if you have H7's etc. It's not impossible and it's not a hard task to do either.
