Default Retrofit help

After a couple hours of searching I'm looking for some help with retrofitting my headlights with HID projectors and halo DRLs.
First, is there a how-to that I am missing?
Next, for ease of install what projector kit and halos do you guys recommend ordering?
What is all involved with installing the projector in the housing? From what I have seen it consists of cutting some of the housing and gluing the projector in??

Also have a question or two about finishes but that can be later on.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll check them out tonight.

Very cool Eco-Punisher. What did you use for paint inside the headlight?
How long did it end up taking you? Im trying to decide if I need a second set of headlights or not.

Does anyone have a projector/shroud/halo combo to suggest?
I don't need anything extreme but something somewhat user friendly to install in the housing.
