88 GTA headlight mod help?

I was wondering if anyone has dared to convert or modify the headlight system instead of replacing the motor when it goes?
I love the lines of the 3gen Trans Am but every time the lights pop out the car loses points…
I don't know if anyone has tried to fit smaller thinner headlights, kinda like the ones on the 93-97 camaro, in between the gap of the bumper and the hood line.
Let me know if you've done it I need to know what type of lights you used and how did you fit them, also if you have any pics share them.

On the Polly Motorsports Trans Am, it looks like they put clear plexiglass/lexan covers over the lights. BTW, this car has 1400 hp

That's a sweet ride!
I have seen this car before but i don't like the plexiglas… I've been looking around for a head light or fog light narrow enough to fit in that 1¼ inch gap and I have the idea that the fog light for the 93-97 camaro might fit, I'm no sure, I have to take measurements. THis weekend I will go to the junk yard to buy some spare parts to try it.
