If some one decides to search the words projectors and read any of the 5 posts in the last month they all will point to 1 thing , NO.
Custom can be done but liek any thing it is custom and requires $$$$$.
If you cannot see through the plastic or glass because it is flueted then projectors cannot work.

it's a custom retrofit, nobody makes and sells complete projector headlight assemblies, at least not in the US.

Funny enough those headlight look like custom retrofitted projectors as the lens looks old and the projectors themselves don't look straight.
It is also not on a car so it is hard to tell with the poor lighting.
