Question on HID Conversion Install

Ok, so I have a 2004 SE without factory HID's. I have a set of 8000K HID's for the headlights and a set of 3000K HID's for the fogs waiting to get installed. I have done about an hour worth of searching on here, only to find mostly for sale threads.

My question is, do I need anything else for the install? They are both plug and play kits, but what has me worried is the caps, because the HID bulbs are longer the the halogen bulbs. Just wondering if anyone has done this conversion, and if so, if they had to get different caps or if I could just drill a hole in the exsisting caps to create more space for the bulbs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, looking to do the install in the morning.

most people drill a hole in the existing caps since you need a hole for the wires to come through anyways. Thats why the HID bulb has a rubber grommet attached to it.
