hids in normal lights are horrendous and don't don't give proper beam pattern so blind on coming traffic

Please don't fit these unless you have projector lights, you'll blind everyone else on the road. I've installed a 5000k HID xenon conversion kit in some Depo projectors recently and it's really simple to do, just follow the instructions provided.

Calm down lads here not going in standard headlights, does the positive and negative need wiring to the battery ?

The HID kit should come with ballasts which connect to the original wiring and then the bulbs connect to the ballasts. If you have a look at my build thread you can see my Depo lights setup ready for the going in the car.

Only h4 bulbs need battery feed otherwise no you connect everything to ballast and from balast to headlight

I've had to order some bulb adapters for them, as I don't get a connection to the headlight
