Why not just retrofit those? They would look pretty sweet in my opinion. Plus you already have a halo on them so its less work for you unless you want to add another.

I'm probably going to rebuild my lights. I want them to sit deeper. I think if you retrofit the ones you have it would be sweet. You could do the panarama or maybe the gatling gun shroud with a smaller halo behind the shroud. It would look pretty sweet.

Theretrofitsource.com has a good choice of projectors and shrouds if thats what you are looking for. To get an idea of retrofits, you could check out my build, bilvonic has a massive thread about his work, and tux has work of his posted as well.

I'm pretty much done retrofitting a set of heads. Got them aimed yesterday and they'll be sealed up today.
I have parts for another build to start on, so I won't be holding on to them for too long. But here's some pics of them at this point.

A basic kit will run you roughly $350 and will take 10-12 hours. This isn't including paint or anything else you decide to do.
