Re: HID upgrade...the right way!
Now for the retrofit...
First I took the front lens off the housings. To do this I pre-heated the oven to ~300 degrees. Once it reached that temp. I shut it off and stuck my headlights in there for roughly 10 minutes. This made the glue very soft and easy to pull the lens right off.

Lens removed-




Next you have to cut a hole in the back of the headlight housing on the low beam side. I just started with the raised circle that held the bulb in place.



This is where I messed up my first set of headlights. TAKE YOUR TIME and start off small then trim away a little bit at a time. Once the projector lens fits in from the back, it's time to mount them.
