custom retrofitted headlights

i wanted to see if there are any really hot professional looking retrofitted headlights for the 99-2002 version headlights.

i saw some for the 03's, and they look so good thay almost look stock, ( http://customlightz.com/?p=p_90&sName=tl ) but the ones i have seen of 99-2002 headlight style just have not captured that stock look.


I was hoping to see some pics of headlights retrofitted with projectors, mostly i wanna see 99-02 version headlights, c'mon guys post some pics!!

I just did a quick search for used parts and found every thing for under 1k. You would not need a full body paint job. A really good HID conversion done by someone with top notch parts would be 1k.

Plug and play for the most part. (the 99-03 is the exact same car, they didnt change the frame for the a cosmetic front end) Nothing you couldnt do at home. Install all the parts bring it in for paint.

i think part of what makes the conversion look so good on the 02-03 models is the actual shape of the headlight housing. just looks much more modern than the 99-01.

99-01 headlight housing is looking outdated, and putting projectors in there makes it look nicer but still cant touch the 02-03.
