First I would try to find a complete set of pre-facelift HID headlight assemblies used. next I would consider retrofitting HID bulbs and ballasts to your existing headlight assembly using an aftermarket kit.

where are the openings you are referring to? If they are in the plastic covers in the bumper lower valence, then it sounds like you have the facelift covers, or have modified covers. The facelift foglights MAY fit. Any photos to show the location?
