Youi can order them but they will be expensive. If you have the will you can Joey Mod them, bake the headlight lens off and paint the inside. If you have reflectors, be careful; projectors, you can black out more.

Just did the Joey Mod and I don't regret it. There are several how-to's if you look around. Mine are reflectors though, and there are a few things that make me wish I had projectors. It definitely would have been easier. But I recommend it if you want the darker look. I'm also getting tint to darken them a little more and protect them.

There are a few things that make me wish I had reflectors, like the cost of a bulb replacement or a repair on the system.

I plan to Joey Mod mine come springtime when I can have the car down for a few days while riding the bike to work.

You can order them ($100), but they require the Xenon headlights ($500), so they'll cost you $600. I ordered them because from what I've read here the Xenons are a "must have" option anyway. You can also get the Xenons in the sport package ($1,250), but it also comes with other desirable stuff like white turn signals, nicer 17" wheels, and direct traction control (and bonnet stripes if you want them, but they can be deleted from the package).
