Well the projectors pictured above come from a ('99 I think) Mercury Cougar. Other years don't have a projector for the high beam, so be careful.
They're pretty slim, but they are long and don't have shielding around the whole housing.
I have projectors now from a 1993 Infinity J30, they are wider, but shorter. I will still have fitment issues with these.
Here's that real interesting capri that's been discussed before. (think they are Taurus headlights?) Unfortunately most of the work was really hack-ish as was the rest of the car. If someone took their time it might work "better"

I agree... it's FUGLY... but I give them credit for doing something "different" and not totally failing at it

This has nothing to do with the headlights conversion but I thought it was cool.

The headlights from a Ford Explorer fit where the parking lamp was. The original lights were destroyed by a deer. It is not that pretty, but more functional than popups, and I can install brighter bulbs.

Well, it'll do in a pinch!! A little more engineering and some body work and you just might be on to something. Great job of keeping your Capri on the road!

Actually, with a little more refinement, I could really like those.....
Can we get a straight-on shot of those?

Looks very similar to the mr2 picture posted. This is a retort to the "hood clearance" issue mention.
