I did it a wile ago to my 2009 Elantra. It was a huge challenge (not per complexity, but rather time consuming task).
the outcome was awesome. Crisp cut off line, great light distribution. Little foreground light and very well defined hot spot made the overall impression of the FX-R projector great.
I kept the original high beam active (plus the bi-xenon), what meant night-time driving was no different than during a day.
Added LED rings on two different light intensities (DRL and night parking light), what only added a falvour to it.

HID - 4300 K, LED rings at about 5000 K. No blue or other blue-like lights.

Having said that - I would love to take this set off your hands, but it would pain me not have the time to finish it.
