HID's just installed!
  Now inside is not pretty =[   So here the thing i left it like that, and the covers i never put back on. i am worried that there will be condensation in the headlamp what should i do? Tom Suggested to Drill a hole in the back and slide the wire through it secure the wires and than plug the back of the cap with silicone. Can i leave it like this or defiantly do what he advised?

Definitely do what was advised.
Your headlights would be screwed in a very short time if you left it open.

It's not just the humidity, dust, grime and water will make it's way inside. You don't want a dusty lense, do you? Can you even break open the headlamp of an '04+ to clean the inside of the lense?

I used a 1" paddle bit for the installation of my HID foglights in my X, and both the lowbeam and foglights in my 7. Search for my HID install post.

Looks good, but don't leave it open and allow condensation. It might mess up the bulbs.
