Anyone know where I can get some clear headlights?

I bet there are a lot of guys who wouldn't buy the lights unless they were legal, so I think that's probably really important.

Kinda expensive to cut up and not exactly a clear lense and I'm sure its too big

CALL911 do you know the measurements of the stock lights? My car isn't with me and I don't know the exact measurement. Thanks
The stock 93-97 headlight housing is about 2" by 4" (if I am remembering right). Guessing at rectangular lights really won't get us anywhere. I need a for sure 2X4 housing (give or take 1/4 of an inch) that has a clear front.

I do appreciate the efforts, but it MUST fit this criterea in order for it to work.

To my understanding to have a non-projector HID setup is illegal. All we are doing is making a projector headlight. Then as an option, you can get HID's for them as well. I see no reason why it wouldn't be legal.

But before we can do anything, we have to find a housing...

I think that I might go to my parents house tomorrow and if I do I have 3 or 4 extra headlights so I'll bring one home so I can measure it and make searching a little easier.

But I agree that as long as they are projector HIDs then their shouldn't be a problem, but like I said I'm not worried about it but I'm sure there are some who are.

I found alot of fog lights or driving lights that were clear, but in larger sizes. I'm sure I can find something if I look long enough LOL

I found some last night> http://www.autotoys.com/x/product.php?productid=4475

They are 2.5" by 4" which ideally might work better given that 2 inches is an extremly small space to insert a projector. The extra half inch would have to be looked into as of how it would fit under the hood and into the bracketry.

The whole problem is they are sold out, or possibly not in production anymore, and I can't seem to find anyone else who sells it
