Where do you live?? I will help if your local, I am not sure if you want help in writing or help as in physically helping I wouldn't charge unless you want me to do it all for you then a small charge for materials. Look in the DIY section there should be a write up, I would be more helpful but done have time right now.

i have mine done

Scary **** putting your head lights in the oven I have a spare set but they are not projectors so I was worried about it, it could go bad fast.

This is easy to do. I did a set from a DIY i found on here (cant remember the link)

Follow the exact instructions and youll be find. Not as hard as it sounds. Remove the 3 or 4 screws first. Heat for 15 minutes at the required temp. Just be gentle not to pull out the sealant.
