It was easy.
Morimoto projector retrofit, bi-xenon d2s bulbs, blacked out the rest.

He sanded the outer housing just to get rid of the oxidation.
Did not sand anything inside..
We just took some spray paint and did multiple coats and left it in a hot room after to dry..

I wanna say the install took around 8-10 hours.
This includes drying time
