Headlight compatibility and retrofit for 2011 MCS

I am going to build some new projector retrofit headlights for my new '11 MCS. I have a crazy work schedule so I am going to have to purchase a spare set of housings to work on.

I found these:

Will they fit my 2011?

Also, is there anything I should know about before I put a HID system in my cooper? Will using a relay harness mess with the vehicle's computers and give me bulb out warnings?

I am guessing that the Mini headlights are the same as most other ones in that they must be baked to remove the lens. Is this correct?

Planned parts list:
FX-R 1.1 Projectors
Morimoto 55W Ballasts
Morimoto 55W 5000K Bulbs
MC-R Shrouds
Relay Harness


Thanks for the advice!
