I put this thread in the 08-09 mod area as I am not sure about the '01 Bullitts. It is my understanding that what I'm doing to my 2011 is similar to how you would go about installing in the '08-09.
I pre heated the oven to 270F and put the headlight housing in for 20 minutes. Then remove and using a flat screwdriver, start at a corner and carefully start prying open. I go about 1/2 way and then it cooled too much and back in the oven for another 20 minutes and the job was done:
Once open, I looked at how the projectors were going to fit. There are several components to this: the projector lens with the solenoid to create HI and LOW beam (with bi-xenon, the light stays the same, but a shield is used to cut off the light to oncoming drivers until you hit the HI and the shield drops). Note the threads that will be used to secure the projector in the housing:
I tested these in my garage and the cut off is sharp but unbelievably bright!
Bulb (55W 4300K stock color):
Shroud to cover the housing (many to choose from):
Ballast to energize the bulb. Pay attention to the wiring on the photos:
This is the harness that splits the wiring such that the larger wire goes to the ballast and the thinner wire goes to actuate the solenoid:
A rough idea of the finished product. I will not attempt to install the covers until I first put them on the car and make sure the aim is correct. I suggest you buy used headlights as I did and work on them knowing if you screw it up you only have a few hundred into it and no harm to your orig parts. I'm still not sure if I am going to paint the old reflector area or not.
