1st Gen CL Headlight Dimensions?

Hey guys, I have an idea for a project on my car, and before I invest any money into it I would like to gather as much info as possible....

My question is, can someone measure the HxWxD of the 1st gen CL's headlights? And also measure the HxW of each reflector? I'm interested in using the reflectors.

Thanks.

Funny you should ask since I just posted this in the Q&A thread a few weeks ago, this was regarding the height, and trying to fit 3" wide projectors in.

The height of the chrome housing that people paint black is 3.75" so you will need something under that to be able to clear into the front of the headlight including bezels, oh and 3" across is doable in both high and low beam as long as you're under 3.5" i'd say.

Meaning that the high beam is right at 4" tall above the bulb hole at the very center of the highbeam side of the reflector but the height starts going down beyond that, as in under 4" then down in a downward slope
Let me know if you need more measurements of the reflectors as I have an extra headlight laying around open
