The brackets are easy to make, here's a thread on the installation:

I also like that you can have a choice of lights--square sealed-beams, projectors, etc.

Anyways, just depends what your budget is

Any jap car in particular that you know of for a donor ?, I'm thinking one lamp for dipped beam another for main and maybe also a fog if there's enough space in the bumper.

nissan maxima silva S13 skyline most eunos mazda 3 ,6 most lexus I have silvia ones that have 60mm yellow projectors with the dipped shade in them and i have some other 90mm can't remember .I'll ask my mate who pulled them .

One of those big "you pull it" yards with all makes is the place to go .
the projector has such a solid bit semi spherical glass they can be recovered out of cars with a pretty bad front damage

I am currently building a "Black-Optik" Bosch lenses for this set up. Use similar method like E30 BMW owners do when they black-out their lenses

+1 One piece seems like the best way to do this. I'm guessing there is no need for wierd mounting hardware for the buckets that way, and the fitment of the lenses would be much easier to get "perfect".

Feedback on them sounds pretty positive.
Do they have the buckets for turbo headlight/nosepanel shape as well? I think that one is for the n/a fitment.

It's a one piece item. I suppose it's not commercially available outside Sweden. My friend Gustaf(Duke) helped me on this.

WTF was pontiac thinking with using headlights like that? My god...

I really don't think there is one single, very nice kit out there. I want a HID setup with true projectors and hi-beams. Seems like you have to make this kit if you want it.

I'm just going to stick with my headlight delete and run driving/fog lights. Still have the clean factory lines, without all the BS under the hood.
