You can do it! I was hesitant at first then did it with my friend who had already done a few...since then, I've done like 8 sets. It only sounds/looks intimidating but it really isnt. I think I've gone over the steps in some thread before...I'll see if I can find them again...I'm too lazy to type it out right now
But I'd hate to open them up only to find that the cloudiness inside can't be cleaned.

Yeah...thats a tough call. I think someone (G35lin?) did it before...it was a coating inside that he winded up removing. Most of the time the cloudiness is on the outside. I've seen several DIYs on doing a sanding and polishing on the headlight to remove the film/build up. I tried it once but wasn't patient enough to do a really good job on it

Here is the DIY on removing the headlights/dropping the front bumper.

One tip....you can take a flat head screwdriver and pry the wiring harness off from the headlight...do this starring down from the top of the headlight. This gives you ALOT more room to be able to unclip the wiring harness from the headlight.
Damn..this really needs a complete DIY huh?.....I'll try to get one together.

I'll search later today and if I find them I'll post the links in here. Killer time to paint, dremel amber reflector, and install some demon eyes.

What better time to do blacked out headlights, Demons, and 6000K. All for under $100 less time it will take me.

That's what I'm looking to do! Im a little confused about demon eyes though, do you need xenon's to have demon eyes? And i want blue bulbs, can I get those on stock H.I.D's? Thanks

Demon eyes are just added CCFL tubes (kinda like LEDs for your reference) that go around the housing of the headlights, you don't need HIDs or anything as they are a completely separate bulb/light.
Blue Bulbs are just a different temperature/kelvin of bulb. Stock are 4300k, but you'll want 6-8k, but know that you'll lose some visibility.

You definitely need to search on the forums, but I'll answer your questions.

One thing....DON'T get ebay headlights and part them out like I did.......cause they suck! and the parts don't interchange 100%...fitment is not exact.
