Here it is: the big anticlimax!
Hate if you will, but as far as I know, I'm the only one in the world with headlights like this. Granted they may or may not be "legal" due to the proximity to the ground, but I'm not all that worried about it.
In case you were curious, I do still plan on following up on the original design from earlier in the thread, but I needed to have functional headlights to make the car driveable (while the 6000K fogs will do, they really just aren't sufficient). Besides, my turn signal housings were shot anyway, so I figured why the hell not?
Obviously, they aren't finished... I had them in the car for a while as they are now, so they're a bit dirty (the lens is out for cleaning), but now they're back out and I'm in the process of making a fiberglass/acrylic housing for them to keep them protected from the elements.
Anyway, without further ado...
And for those of you wondering "What will you do now for turn signals?" ...let's just say they'll be in soon

Like I said, the lazy-eye is still in the works, but I needed to have something to drive with in the meantime. These work really well, as seen in the first pic, and still allow me to work with the actual headlights.

I'm thinking I'll try to implement the project next quarter in my mechatronics class and get credit for it... That's how I got my heads ported this month
For those feeling jip'ed:

A few updated pics for those that are still interested. Got the fiberglass housings done, now I just need to work on getting a better mounting system. The two screws that originally held the turn signals just aren't cutting it. Anyway, fiberglass, bondo, and black primer:
