Looks awesome.. nice work!

How hard is it to get the headlights out? Did you have to remove the bumper?

Appreciate your response!

Removing the headlights are super easy and not requiring removing the bumper, there is detail instruction in the owners manual. Total took me 20 mins this is including swapping the HID bulbs and ballasts to the new headlights.

Don't you have to set the headlights to a baseline reference point so the auto leveling can then work from there. Ie how else would the headlights know where they are in space without setting a standard reference point.

The headlights really do change the overall look. Nice comparo. I loved them. Unfortunately they are now off. Going back to stock everything.

Indeed they are 2 brand new headlights. This is the GTS-Style Black Headlight Kit. I actually have a set for sale.
