Aftermarket headlight

I'm sure that there are plenty of threads about retrofitted headlights and how tos on how to paint them and such but does anyone make an aftermarket headlight?
If not.. How much would your average retrofit cost??

Most aftermarket headlights that have been found are for the JDM front end. You can probably find a quality retrofit for around $800 or so.

Thank you for clarifying.. If I remember correctly didn't somebody make a retro fit kit for it?? It was just a little funny looking because the lense was small..

A retrofit involves taking the projector housing and bulb assembly off another car that has HID headlights stock. IE Acura TSX projectors being one of the best, it's also a small projector making it easy to fit in the OEM headlight assemblies of other vehicles. The size of the projector lens doesn't really matter as the output far exceeds that of regular halogen bulbs, and far surpasses that of "plug and play"/re-based HID bulbs (like "H4 HIDs") because the projector is matched perfectly with the common true HID D1s and D2s bulbs.

I know how retrofits work.. And I know how hids work..

What I'm talking about is a kit that I thought I saw a while back that someone had made..
