I suggest you head up to Canada, really splurge (about $1400 Canadian), and
get a set of proper ellipsoid headlights with glass covers.  They are
available because of the E-36 Euro M3 sold here for a while.  My guess is
that you'll have to special order though.  I'm still waiting for my bank
manager to approve my second mortgage so I can afford a set for my car...
