Headlights and switchback LEDs are pretty similar to mine now, and it's definitely sharp. Looks better without the front plate too.

haha that's why i want to live in Montreal. these days time goes really slow.

The LEDs are really easy and take 5-15 minutes (depending on experience) to replace the entire car's worth.

The HID headlights mod should be done right, and it's not really easy. HID bulbs in regular projectors make you look cheap and like a douchebag. If it's done right (via a retrofit), it's classy and looks far better. For that, you have to remove the front bumper, remove the headlamp enclosures, bake 'em in an oven, replace the projectors, bake 'em back together, and remount everything, adding some extra wiring. You can buy kits for that easily (I recommend TheRetrofitSource) and there are great DIYs that make it possible for anyone, if this sounds daunting. It's just time consuming, with all the info available.

Did you disconnect the battery to install the LED lights?

No, it's just a bulb replacement, same as if the OEM lights died and you had to swap them.
