Convert to single headlight lense

I really want to know how to conver the old out dated headlights into something more like todays style. I saw the kind of headlights I want on a few camaros and really want to do this as long as the price doesn't exceed $3k, which I'm pretty confident it won't. So heres an example of what I want my headlights like

Any tips and suggestions will greatly be appreciated, also details are important.

Re: Convert to single headlight lense

let me get this right..... you're ok to update your headlights as long as it don't cost over $3,000 dollars......... bring your car over to Nebraska and bring $2,999 and consider it done!

Go to a junk yard and get a set of BMW headlights, snag the pigtails (wiring) and head home. Fab up your mounts, trim a little, cut a little, and voila! I'm sure for $3,000 you will be ok!

Re: Convert to single headlight lense

yeah it was just one of those projects where I didn't have any idea of what it would take to get it done. I was looking at the halo or angel eye lights from a E36 BMW. I saw them on another 3rd gen thats on here and loved the way it made the car look.

Not this again LOL! BMW lights look good on a BMW, but not on a 3rd gen IMO. What is wrong with the stock look???
