I was recently able to score some Audi HID's (consisting of the projectors, ballast and bulbs) that i want to retrofit in to my kouki.

The only thing holding me back is that i dont want to mess up my kouki lights when i take them apart?

So if anyone has any tips or has opened up their kouki headlights. Could you please chime in, or send me in the right direction.

I might try to do a write up if I do decide to go through with it.

This is an S14 you are asking a question about right? I ask because you have an S13 in your signature.

Here's a link that might help you. He installs s2000 projectors in his kouki but opening it should be the same.
