Default headlight conversion

I saw a conversion couple years ago on a t/a ini europe. Instead of the pop up head lights they made them duals on each side flush without the bubble like the vettes have. HAs anyone seen this? Ideas anyone? I was thinkin its gonna have to be a custom job and was thinkin gonna have to use piaa type lights.

Not hard to get fixed lights for a firebird. Now changing to better lights on a lt1 camaro is rocket science.

There was a guy on here that had a two tone LT1 TA. It was green and silver and last I heard from him he started a projector light project. Long while back though.
