well... All I did was unhook my JWT bracket and lifted the intakes and proped them outta the way... if you have stock intakes... you need to remove the intake box....
then stick your hand down there... I really dont know what the big deal is about
be specific in what part of the above you dont understand...

Now I think I get it. I just need to get the intake boxes out of the way, and the rest should be pretty easy? Anyone have any pictures of how to remove the intake boxes?

I just switched out all my lights. Here are some tips to help.
On the HIDs you don't have to uncrew any screws. There are clips on both sides, just unhook them and you should be set.
For the Fogs, it is also the same, except there is only one clip to unhook. I tried unscrewing one of them and I lost one screw in the housing. I suggest if you have magnetic tipped screwdriver, unscrewing would be easier... Otherwise, just use the clip...and for the parking light, its fairly simple.. just twist and take out.
PM me if you guys have any questions, I'll be glad to help.

No, you do not have to unscrew anything. There is a clip that secures the bulb in place. All you have to do is push the clip in and pop it out of the slot. But if you want to unscrew the two screws, you can also do that. But I suggest you have a magnetic tipped screwdriver or you might lose a screw in the housing. The clip is somewhat easier though if you have a good view from the fender well.

I just finally finish installing the new HIDs and the new wedge city running bulbs. Let me tell you for the type of mod this is, it's a pain in the @$$ lol. I never knew how heavy this car actually was until when I put the car on jackstands, it crushed my blacktop driveway (oops!), but all in all it was worth it. I did the 6K bulbs with the matching white city running LEDs. The HID bulbs were easy and took little to no time, the wedge bulbs were tougher since it's very hard getting your hands in there. If you're going to be installing either HIDs or the wedge bulbs it's going to be mandatory to take the wheel off. I'm very happy with the outcome, and it matches the platinum graphite very well.
