Default Headlight help

Wassup people. I apologize for not making the meet today. But anyways, I need some help.
Does anybody know who can open up my headlights and install my angel eyes. Preferably in Sacramento but I guess the bay will be ok too. I posted the pics and stuff here's the link:

Well in the GS section we have been taking apart lenses for a while now. Some do angel eyes, some do painting the bezel and on my car I did a black chrome bezel conversion on my GS.

Also in the IS section, people have installed angel eyes as well. I did angel on my wifes IS myself.

Do a search under either section and the process should be similar for the RX lights I assume. I highly recommend that you test your angel eyes and leave them on for 24 hours before installation. You don't want to find out you have a bad light after the front end is all torn apart.

The quick summary of the process is that you have to bake the headlights at roughly 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes. This softens the glue and allows you to crack them open.

You need to do the inverse to put them back together.
