About 13 hours...you have to wait for the glue to dry to your bumper when you install them or they will fall out....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]

I had my bodyshop do it, and they did it in about 1/2 hour...........

No gluing though, just screws.

black projectors meaning replacing the headlights?....if so, wouldn't it be just like taking off bumper and stock headlights?

it with the right tools, you can get the job done in 15min-half an hour, you simply take the front bumper off, unbolt the 5 bolts holding in the light, and put the other light in!

no glue, 30min to take off bumper and swap the lights.
Aiming them could take a bit of time.

aiming is what takes the longest..especially on the drivers side..once the bumper is off there are 4 10mm bolts holding the stock headlamp in place. You might need an extension for your wrench for one of the bolts (its kinda hard to get to). Once you put the new lights in, loosely tighten each bolt. Probably if you tighten one of them too much then the others won't line up properly. Should take about 45-60 minutes to do. Have fun
