For reference in case you think it's just me being a klutz (which I am) - a bunch of us in the Mid Atlantic forum thought it'd be a good idea to do this ourselves for fun. Of the 5 sets of headlights we attempted to mod only 1 set came out unscathed.
List of problems we encountered:
-Scorched & melted headlight lenses. It's VERY easy to melt the housings when you're trying to soften the sealant. The damage is very ugly, very visible, and cannot be repaired.
-Broken HID "clips". For some reason, the little metal clip thingy that holds the HID bracket in place is very fragile.
-Busted up HID bulbs
-Constantly running out of daylight. The process is long, time-consuming and messy as hell.
