They look like the ones put on the last iteration of the NSX:

IMHO, they look horrible and make the cars look like an Integra that has had too much face lift.

I think HIDs shouldn't be retrofit to older cars unless you can aim them properly, most don't bother and end up blinding other drivers. Or they put "blue" bulbs in to get the HID look and end up with less lumens on the road.

Keep it simple, make your own plastic lens covers and build your own projector holders to replace the buckets. Should be relatively simple compared to adapting those buckets.

yes, im thinking of using those carbon fiber beds and then a fixed cover over that. and if it turns out looking like crap i can always scrap it and go another route.

first i need to fix my dash thou

It isn't emissions related, its just common courtesy to not intentionally blind another driver with your headlights.
