I think that folks who have switched to projector type headlights used the ones off another car with flipups. Not sure which car but hit the junkyard and look at rx-7, 240
anything with flip ups and more of a aftermarket following and measure them you will probably have to cut them to make them fit right.

If you have intermittant running problems or a flat spot/buck/dying/cutting out while accelerating.
Do your self a favor and try some dedicated gas
line dryer, Double or even triple dose it, It's cheaper
then throwing parts at a problem that doesn't throw
codes!!
