i would remove and carefully clean throttle body / check and clean out engine breather pipes however white smoke from exhaust when engine warm could be cylinder head gasket get this tested at a garage who have a chemical block tester if ok change oil and filter and try car see if any better if it is not using water or overheating will prob be ok

hi for breather pipe location it is difficult to explain best to have a look at another car maybe take some pictures or have a look in a haynes manual it is important that breather and vacuum pipes are fitted correctly as for head lamps i would remove hid kit and revert back to standard head lamps and use uprated bulbs mot regulation have changed and HID lamps i believe have to be self leveling and have h/lamp washers now to conform to mot regulations
