Default C6 Headlights on a C3

I did a search but did not come up with much. One thing I love about this board is, if you have an idea about a mod, someone has probably done it already.
So I am at a car show last week and my 68 coupe is parked next to a 2008 coupe and I was checking out his HID headlights. For reference, my Raptor has a set of these and they make a huge difference over the regular lights. Looking at the bucket size of the C6, its roughly the same only inverted of the C3. I do love the flip up headlights and plan to keep it that way, just when they pop up, they will be the HID set and an additional side marker light if I have room. To quote a movie "My Dad is a TV repairman, he got the ultimate set of tools."
Soo, I was thinking of modifying a set of C6 buckets to fit onto my C3. I contacted a guy on the C6 forums who told me it has been done several times and documented here, but I could not find anything.
Can anyone reference this being done?
Thanks

Are you set on c6 headlights and looks on your c3 or just wanting better light output from c3 headlights? It is very possible to put hid's on a c3.
