HID Swap

My aunt just traded her gl450, for a new one. She didn't realize that not all MB's come with HID's. She is not happy. How difficult is a full HID swap? Are the self leveling OEM HID's plug and play? The car will probably be back at the dealer by the end of the day, but I told her I'd do a little research first. TIA

Thanks for the link, but I know there is absolutely no way she would accept a conversion. We'd have to do the entire headlight housing at 100% OEM spec. We couldn't have random wires running to the battery or anything like that.
