Pop up rectangular headlights would have to be custom. There are places that sell the fixed scoops to mount them in...Camaro headlights are popular for this because they are small rectangles...but they don't pop up.
Using the same headlights you could modify your own buckets to fit the stock setup so they pop up and contain rectangle headlights instead of the round.

Ecklers used to make a headlight bezel that replaced the 4 round headlights with 4 of the small rectangular lights while keeping the pop-up feature. Been a while since I have seen it in a catalog but you may be able to find a set at one of the larger Corvette swap meets.

I noticed the square bezel for the conversion a few days ago in either Eckler's or CorvetteCentral

I think Clutchdust might have the rectangular headlight surrounds you are looking for in this thread http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...ghlight=groovy
Down at the bottom of the list he lists the "groovy" headlights and explains them later as the rectangle surrounds... Send him a PM and see if that's what you want.
