but i don't know if I already have an HID in it or BI-Xenon is already HID?
How can you not know? If you have real white light, you have HID. If you have real white light on both low beam and high beam, you have Bi-Xenon.
HID Xenon lights have a bit sophisticated moving mechanism. One such thing is the shutter. When you turn the lights on, you will ALWAYS see the light RISING.
If you cannot tell by the color...at least you should be able to tell from the movement.

You can check by going through paperwork of your vehicle purchase or posting a photo of your headlights while turned on and we can identify for you. Assuming you have halogen bulbs, there are 3 options available.
1) OEM bi-xenons
2) DEPO clear projector headlamps with aftermarket HID kit
3) Aftermarket HID kit
Since you wanted projector look, option #2 would be the reasonable way to go.

#2 DEPO clear projector headlamps with aftermarket HID kit
I've already bought one pair from ProCarparts and I don't know if that has an HID kit in it. If it doesn't , can i use my old kit from the stock one or I have to buy the entire HID kit separately? Here I attached the picture and hopefully this would help a bit. Will this affect my computer from the car if I swap it? I assumed it will not but I don't really know. I would really appreciate your respond

Attached image doesn't have HID unless specified when you purchased.
What do you mean by old kit from the stock?
If you have stock xenon, you can just swap headlight assemblies.

You mean, I could just swap headlight assembly without any problem by just replacing a different bulb right? On my manual it say that I have a bi-xenon h7 (55w) d2s-35, but i want a bluish color or that 8000k, how much do they cost and where can i find them. Can i just buy them at carparts store or special order? Thanks again, sorry i feel like an ass now

If you have factory xenon, then you will need PIAA D2S bulbs to make even brighter.
If you have halogens, you can go with PIAA Xtreme white bulbs for bright look.
But you need to make sure if you have halogens or not first.
