They are held on by double-sided tape.

There are no holes.. just take them off and get the glue off. The way I did it was use a blow dryer and run across the emblem to heat up the glue. Then I used dental floss and it cut through the glue like butter. Rub off the leftover glue as much as you can with your finger. Be sure to wear some gloves to avoid a blister from the friction. Then you can get the rest of it off with automotive goo-gone.

The emblems are held on by double-sided tape. On a hot day, take a dental floss and use a sawing motion to cut through the tape.

What do you mean by aftermarket HID? Are you saying that your car has halogens that you want to convert to HID? Or you already have HIDs and wanna do projector retrofit? Either way, a lot of people have done both. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find relevant threads.
