Ebay headlights?

Searching for some new eyes for my ebony. I have an 2001 i30 and would love to get some projectors. I've searched and seen so many retros but I am going to be honest I suck at custom anything. What's the closest I can get to achieve this? Suggest/pictures.

Hmm, why not just do your black one instead?

Funny.. I was just about to ask n3985 about his opinion on using eBay I35 headlights without modification, compared to the factory setup. I'm not looking for projectors and whatnot, just need to replace my fogging and damaged stock ones and am NOT going to spend a million dollars on new ones. Although I'd love doing a retrofit, I too suck at anything custom so I'd rather not butcher something and just use the eBay lights if they are at all as good as the stock ones.

Probably. Those generic H1/H3 halogen projectors that are used in all eBay headlights are garbage.
