Default HID lights on a civic Si

So this is my first Honda,(coming from an Evo 8) and I looking at the engine bay and everything seems really crowded. What is the best (easiest) way to gain access to the headlights to install some Hid Lights? any input would be great!

You can tuck the ballasts under the fenders also.

thanks for all the input, Ill just go through the fender. that seems the easiest way to do it.
I came from an evo 8 due to regular problems with awc, maintanece sost, fuel cost and the interior was horrible for a daily driver.
