I've been wanting to upgrade my headlights to projectors for a long time but was never able to find a pair for my Sport. Found these on Ebay. they are pretty ugly though. I remember finding a company that made a pair before but they wanted 900.00. Anyway, just thought I would post these if anybody were interested.

Make sure to search for related threads on this before buying. It's a 1500 fine if you're caught with them.

I will not argue with you on OK law but I will say that what I have read from NHTSA is that "HID conversion kits" the ones that replace just the bulb are illegal. They when you replace the entire unit to convert over to prjector lights those should not be illegal. Like I said not sure on OK haven't found much about it directly. They might be just the HID bulbs in Halogen headlamp reflectors.

Also this is very murkey. Basically the Law with the headlights is basically open to cops to do what they want write a ticket or not. Also this gets murkey with a full replacement not being illeagal but it not meeting NHTSA FMVSS. Which is where it gets tough.

Okay so it is against Federal Law to remove original Equipment the pertains to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety standards. So while you can do it and probably not ever get a ticket it is still Illegal to remove safety equipment and replace it. Even though it is safer to have better headlights and as long as they are done right it should not be a problem...
