No, the thru hull holes that you cut in the hull of the boat are the same with both LED and HID. The electrical boxes used to run the HID's are usually mounted in very close proximity to the HID light (such as in the lazarette which is an open run to the HID light) so you shouldn't need to cut large holes throughout the boat, all you need is a basic power wire from the breaker panel to the HID electronic box.
