so i took the time and did this myself as well, except i didnt bother with the turn signal mod, because i am a noob and dont want to screw up any more than i already did HAHA.
this mod too about 10 hours total of work time due to lack of tools/experience. definitely can be done around 5 is youre only doing the projector halo. it is extremely easy since lightwurkz provided literally everything i needed. also big tanks to OP for helping this newbie out so much. here are some pics.

Can u list out what we would need if we just did the headlight. I dont have the confidence to try the turn signal. Thanks, and it looks great!

Figured i would need a whole lot more stuff to do it. Thanks for the list.
Does the harness from lightwurkz plug right into our daytime running lights. I have no electrical experience, so before i buy the led angle eye i want to make sure i am capable of getting it all together.

Sorry brother, I've been out of town...

Add some 220 sand paper to rough up the chrome before you paint. Also will need something to attach the halo I used 2 part epoxy and auto goop. The epoxy was a pain in the *** and isn't holding up well(Mainly Because I Put To Much Hardener), the Goop is easier to work with and so far is holding up fine. Some other items..

Soder Gun or Wire Connectors
220 Sand paper
10mm Crescent wrench
Nice clean soft surface to lay the light on (minimize scratches)
Paint: Krylon is good
2 sided tape to mount the LightWurkz Control Box
Auto Goop or 2 Part Epoxy
