Just give yourself plenty of time to complete the project. Once you get going it's all good. Just gotta get over the whole "OMG, I'm tearing my car apart. I'm an idiot" feeling, and boo ya, you've got your self some badass headlights!

I just dont want to have to take the bumper off. I've baked headlights before in my other cars.

^ why dont you want to take the bumper off?
i did mine maybe a month ago. total noob to baking and i had a friend help me. i was scared as f**K! we followed the DIY and it worked out with no probs of breaking or fogging. we used the original sealant and rebaked them. just take yor time and before you know it, you got some clear headlights

The biggest downfall to those headlights is going to be the light output. Yeah, you'll look pretty interesting in people's rearview mirror with angel eyes, but your light output is going to be pretty poor.

Taking your bumper off is the easy part.
