USA Suggested Projector Headlight Assembly

I'm looking into getting a projector style pair of headlight assemblies. Anybody have any suggestions on a good brand that will be a direct fit and street legal? Possibly several brands at server pricing tiers?

Or is this something that's going to require retrofitting?

Thanks!

I have not seen any street legal ready-to-install housing for us.

This requires retrofitting, and is not going to be legal.

I have a FX bixenon retrofitted into mine before TRFS made a clone of it meant for retrofitting. Said to be one of the best projectors for retrofitting.

Damn shame. Wonder why the 7th gen 'rollas have projector headlight assemblies but not the 8th gen's? It's like we were skipped entirely.

Oh well. I like the projector styles with angel eyes but I'm not going to go through the song and dance of retrofitting another set of headlights only to not be street legal anyway...

I'll probably end up getting a euro-style headlight assembly pair and install an HID conversion kit.
