Ebay or amazon is probably your best bet. IMO the projector headlights look kinda cheap to me.... again thats my opinion.
I would get some Lightning style headlights and throw on some Sylvania SilverStar Ultras.

Beware the import lights on ebay as the quality can be off and they leak. If you do get a set I recommend going around the area where it's bonded with some clear silicone to help make sure it's sealed. I would go with the Lightning ones if that's your style.
Been there and done that with Sylvania. Not impressed. Yes, they're bright, but they don't last long at all. I got about 2 months a set on my bike. My truck, about six months. PIAA makes some really nice and very bright bulbs. I had them in my bike for a few years before I replaced them. My truck, I went back to standard bulbs.

Those are the same ones I just put on my truck, except I got them on ebay, shipped, for about $70. I've got the PIAA bulbs in mine and the light output is very nice, I believe they're a little bit brighter than the silverstars.
