I did something similar to this, i did it myself and did all the wiring, I am willing to help and i actually have a few pictures. Few things before you get started-You will need to open up OEM headlights, i used the oven in my house to warm up the glue and make it easier to open
it will take a lot of hours so it will not be a one day thing
I purchased my angel lights on eBay, i will try to send a pic of which one it was when I find them, and i will send a pic of the lights currently on my car, 06 tl

Iam aware that its gonna take lots of time, luckily I have a separate pair of headlights leftover from my old tl, gonna customize that and then install it. Also I would really appreciate the help, im kinda a newbie. Let me know when u find the parts on ebay, and how u were able to do urs.

I can upload videos here right?

So that first pic of the headlight is after you open it up and that plastic piece i believe is held on my a Phillips and u can kinda see the circle part of it where one of the lights will go on top of, u will need to fill down and cut some of the plastic for it too fit back in the corners

so you had to cut for the high beam? Since that one doesn't really have a circle like the other one? And also do you have the whole process recorded in a video? If so do you have a link for it on yt or something?

It would be hard to make a video of the process since it's a lot of trimming, test fitting, etc.
