First of all you'll have to remove the front bumper and then the headlights... :
hope this helps little bit
p.s. how much did pay for the Xenon headlights? Did you get them from Ebay? Let me know if the harness/connectors are plug & play. Thx

Having done this about 3 months ago: (Just do as I tell you, I went through hell)
1. Find 2 xenon headlights on ebay. Most come with ballast and bulb included, but check anyway. (approx.200-250 each)
2. Have them swapped out yourself or dealership.
Be done with it. Do not go and try and custom fit an HID KIT. 95 Percent chance of headlights fogging up...
I wish somebody told me this b4 I xenonized.

Plug and play... Problem is, you need to drill through the housing to get the wire to the ballast through. Most people get the fog because of air seeping in through the hole you drill and "attempt" to seal. I took that #%#%$ bumper off probably 10 times trying to seal it. After that I said screw it and bought the xenon headlights which have the ballast built in.

doable in an hour. the HID kits you can get here on the forums for cheap. i got mine from here as well.

take your time and do it right. i did the HID swap back in april and have no issues of fogging of the lens and such. you just have to drop the bumper...don't really need to take the entire thing off. once you have enough clearance to get to the bottom bolts holding in the headlight assembly, you're set.
