If they are like the set I purchased a few weeks ago ("halo" version, though mine were chrome), you don't actually need an HID kit at all. They ship with incandescent halogen H7 bulbs that work just fine, IMO.
If you want HID, from what I understand you can purchase pretty much any H7 kit. Bi-xenon would be HID bulbs for both low and high beams. If you want to do this, you'd need two kits or a kit with 4 bulbs. (Not sure if our high beams are also H7. I'll let someone else chime in.)
I didn't install mine myself, but I understand that you need to remove the bumper to do so. If you are going to install HID bulbs, the installation will also involve wiring and placement for the ballasts (control boxes for the bulbs, if you will--about the size of two packs of cards side by side) and possibly modification of the bulb access covers to allow for wiring.
FYI, the projectors that came with mine aren't very good. They light up the road fine, but anyone who's owned an Audi, Acura, Lexus, or modern German car will be able to tell they're aftermarket.
Good luck and enjoy.
