Default Where to find rectangular headlight setup?

Is there someone who makes rectangular headlight setups that uses the standard popups. They have to be 4 headlight not 2 as I´ve seen somewhere, can´t remember where. I don´t like those round frog lights but I would like to keep the popup doors(that puts Ecklers version out). If there ain´t someone who makes them, has anybody done this themselves if so from what car (or manufacture) did you take the lights? :confused:

I've thought about the same thing. I've also thought about a setup with the small rectangular lights and pop ups that come up barely high enough to show the lights. I think another possibility is to use the small rectangular lights in the front grille. I like the idea of less surface area showing on the front of the car when the lights are on. I've looked and found nothing. When I get time I'm going to my favorite junk yard and look at some of the mounting brackets on the mid nighties Olds that had them. Maybe something can be fabricated.
