I'm looking into buying Xenon headlights for my 2004 525i, I wanted to know if the lights come with the ballast and bulbs will I be able to install them in my car and are they plug and play? Or will I have to make modifications to get them to work?

Definitely not plug and play. To do it properly, u need a set of retrofit cables, new lighting control module and programming. To hack it, u need new headlights, retrofit cables, and some electronics to bypass error codes. I suggest you might as well upgrade to the 2008 headlights and taillights if you were to upgrade to xenon headlamps.
If you do not mind the projectors, u can install my Philips Design HID kits which are made for BMWs to make it a plug and play effort.
