    It's wayyyy easily doable.
    Takes like an hour tops.
    Follow the DIY guide in taking off the bumper, and then only three T-30 screws from the hood holds the lights in place. VERY easy

    think he meant spot on.

    use the diy and attempt yourself, figure 1 or 2 hours of work to do the job; not sure your shop rates where you are but you figure 100-200.

    Where did you get your headlights? I'm up in Fort Mac and I want to do this too, any salvage yards to look for in E-town?

    Nothing in E-town lol seriously Alberta sucks....You can try Carparts.com......or talk to member on here "LowestA4" hes got a waiting list but he can get clear corner oem lights for pretty good deal. i got mine on ebay they are always circulating on there. lol probably not the best choice..

    I would attempt it myself, however each harness has a wire that have to be run somewhere and i have no idea where the hell they would go, i would assume is would be the lengthiest part of the procedure.
    btw thanks for all the quick responses guys. :)

    I assume you got the harness needed too?
    If you didnt, you're in for a surprise. You need a harness to be able to connect car connector to the bixenon housing.

    I would say it can take anywhere between 1-3 hours TOPS. Should not take longer than that. It really depends on if you know how to do it and how "handy" you are with this stuff.

    EDIT: Just saw your latest reply. The separate wires go inside the car, behind the cluster. It's well explained in one of the DIY's out there. They are for the drivers side and passenger side high-beam "flaps"
    So you take out the cluster, you will see the harness there, and you just slide the "wires" into the right holes on the harness. All plug and play really, you just have to get the wires inside the car through the firewall.
    EDIT2: Here is a pic of where I ran the wires through. There is a rubber grommet of some sort that once you take off your drivers side knee bolster you'll see. I cut the middle of it, ran it up the cluster and thats it :)
