Certainly could be done in a day, if you don't have to paint the interior of the headlight. Add one~two day if you do paint.
In a real world (where I live occasionally) I'd say plan a good weekend mate, that is without rushing anything (incl painting the interior, and loving/polishing the lenses when completed).
MAX:
1) 2 hrs to remove the lenses + carefully clean the edge
2) 1-2 hrs to dremel the socket hole and fitting new projectors in
3) 2 hrs for the wiring
4) 1 hrs for dialing-in the orientation, pre-adjustments
5) 1 hrs testing on the bench & car, making sure all works
6) 1 hrs cleaning, removing any dust left by the above work
7) 2 hrs for re-sealing the lenses onto the headlights
(8) 12,765 hrs looking/staring at your car 'new' front-end style
Something like that. Not incredibly time consuming but it does takes a little longer than doing an oil change for sure.
The difference it makes to the car will make you forget all about wasting your precious weekend time I promise loll - keep for when it rains!
