Anyone knows where to get some of these headlights for 986/996?

hey jinster,
how are these holding up? any leaks? any chance of some night pics? btw whats the difference b/w rhd and lhd headlights? i see that bantered about here on the forum and can't for the life of me figure out what difference it makes.

I would like to buy these headlights and convert to HID, but I have a couple questions:
1) I understand that for halogen it is plug and play, but what is involved converting to HID? Where does the ballast go (inside the pod)? How do you rewire (inside the pod or do you need to rewire at the "plug" where the pod slides into)? Do you have pictures?
2) I don't have DRL, can I leave the parking lights on and get the same effect?

Thanks

LHD headlights are pointed slightly to the right side (and vice versa for RHD) to reduce the glare to oncoming traffic.

Lets not let this thread die, as I am sure we could put together a group buy on a "few"pairs of these. I will be happy to head this up if no one has pulled the trigger. Ebay runs around 800 for the set (LHD) I see no reason why we can't pick 'em up for 500
