I believe this stuff can be adapted to our headlight housings fairly easily. cheaper and easier to find than a set already done... https://www.ebay.com/itm/77-81-FIREB...Condition=3000

Thanks for a reply. I fell in love with this look when I saw it and it is now at the top of my list. I have my lights out to install the Probe motors in them so figured now would be a good time to do it. I managed to track down one used bezel so I have an example. Just need to figure out how to fab up a mirror image of it for the other side. I also got a full set of buckets and trim rings from an '86 camaro for $25. And after looking at some threads I found out about an article in HOT ROD from 1975. I have one of those copies coming to me. Doesn't look all that hard to plan out. I also think I will try and get a cheap bezel from the same vintage Firebird that looks close. Then I might be able to glass it into my OEM bezels. Don't have all the pieces here yet but will have them by the weekend. I will look into the link you sent. Thanks for your input. ON a side note, I can't believe how easy the probe motors worked out after a good amount of homework, mostly on this site.
