There are a ton of posts on this topic and many options. Try a search. You might find that people speak most highly about Custom Angel Eyes for a complete package solution.

you will have to bake it to open the headlight lens(or use high power heat gun). if I remember correctly, it's about 200F for 10 minutes. One you finish installing the angel eyes, you will have to reseal it back on. heat up the original black silicon first to make them sticky again and then apply some extra in low spot. (to prevent condensation issue)

but TEST the angel eyes first before you put the lens back on. it's really not that hard as you would imagine. oh. I vaguely remember that 03' headlights cannot be opened. not sure. what year is yours?
