those are the infiniti Q45 projectors, they are quite pricy i think, you can get some off here but maybe cheaper if you look around.

q45 projectors are about 400-600 bucks
new headlights are better to retrofit with because if u are gonna do it, do it right

No such thing as Vip headlights....They can be incorporated into vip but on their own are not considered vip.

Agreed, VIP headlights would have a pretzel dangling from the turn signal and little curtains for the driving lights

Personally, Im a big fan of a set of brand new stock GS headlights. Second choice would be the stock GS headlights with the black chrome instead of the chrome.

Retrofitting is when you take projectors from another car (Q45/TSX/LS) and you modify them to fit into your headlights. You need special brackets to get them to fit and have to take apart your headlights, but it's all possible.
