Yours look awesome!!
I am in the process of doing my '06+ lights too. I blacked out everything though. I have used the oven method for my '05 lights but this time I tried the heatgun, and WOW, what a difference! So much easier to get the lens off, it was unbelievable. I recommend trying a heat gun if you decide to do this again. my housing isnt all the way together yet (adding the demon eye tomorrow) so I was just holding the projector in for the pic thats why it is a little crooked.

I found some LEDs at pep boys with the resistor already wired for like $7.99 a 3 pack. I havent actually mounted the LED yet, (still trying to decide where to mount it exactly) I took the projector housing and just held the LED inside and moved it around until the light was evenly spread across the lens. As soon as I find a good way to mount it, I will post a DIY....

Thanks guys! Yea my friend used the heat gun method but melted the corner of oneof his lights so I decided to bake mine.. I think it went well considering it was a single shot attempt and no room to mess up with the baking.. It's not as bad as some ppl make it out to be, just take ur time!
