Not that long. My harness worked perfectly, and I eventually found the right fuse to tap 12v acc from. I spent the lions share of the time troubleshooting connections. I used butt splices for a lot of connections and a few were loose. Probably all in, it took me 14 hours spread out over 3 days to remove, open, mod, and reinstall the headlights and relay harness.

I did the swap, there's some good color flicker. When I get a chance, I need to aim them more accurately. As is, I get a big "step down" in the cutoff where the drivers side headlight cutoff dips to around 6 inches lower than the passenger cutoff at 25 feet.
I like the new output, it adds a little more blue tinge. The swap was odd, since I had to use a brass punch to pry off the lock ring holding the lens on.

I didn't see any spacers in the OEM setup, so I just dropped the lens in with no spacers. I think that was the right decision.

There's no screws to undo to remove the lens. The lens is seated in a frame and there is an aluminum ring that fits over it. The ring is then bent into divots in the frame to hold it in place. Pretty shoddy way to hold it on.

So your lens isn't even securely screwed down like this~
