I know most people usually go for a projector retrofit with these, and I could go that route, but I would rather start small (cheap) and bore a hole through the center reflector with my trusty drill. Anyone care to contribute some advice?

Depending on what brand headlights you purchased... "Eagle Eye, Depo, or TYC, or other brands"....
The beam pattern shouldn't be too bad (for one-piece Cefiro's) anyway.
With H-4 (9003) bulbs, the beam pattern would not be too bad.... however, if you put in HID directly to 'em one-piece headlight, then yeah.. it would suck.. Or if you put 9004 bulbs into the H-4 housing.. haha...
Okay, just to give you a heads up....
If you see a little high beam icon dimmerly shown on the dash.. then.. you will definitely need to look into the wiring. That means, you may have connected the wires wrong... converting from 9004 to H-4.....
Check the ground wire to ground... high beam to high beam.. and low beam to low beam..
The only draw backs of purchasing aftermarket One-Piece headlights are
1. The beam pattern may NOT be consistant (bad reflector housing).
2. The adjusting knobs to adjust up-down and left right of the headlight reflectors may not be working properly
3. Water proof may not be the best.... make sure you check the rubber piece that seals the back of the headlight once a while.. .if you see moist or water in the housing.. don't be surprised...
Good luck.. post here.. or email me if you have any more questions
