tips? what tips do you need?
do you know how to remove bumper? it takes me 5 minutes to remove all the bolts and get it off now.
if you do a search for clear headlights, you'll find all the info you need to get to the headlight housings.
once you take the HID ballasts off and are pulling the bulbs out, be careful, do not touch the bulbs!!! I would do 1 at a time and as soon as I removed the bulbs/ballasts, I would put them in the JDMs
their is a thread out their by arnell(i think thats it) that is in detail... search for it

Its not that hard at all. I did my JDM swap almost a year and a half ago. I didnt even have to take the front bumper off. The only thing I thought was a problem was when you need a special key to open something (I already forgot, it was so long ago) I just remember needing something only the dealer had then I just used a wrench. The blinker socket also was too big if I recall for the OEM one so you have to order a extra part for both assemblies. Anyway just search for the thread here. Hope it works out for you. And once your done re-adjust your headlights. You dont want to blind oncoming traffic.
