Default Looking into a NSX headlight conversion... help?

Hello everyone, this will be my first post here so try to keep the flaming to a minimum as I'm not a Honda/Acura fan, and know even less about the NSX...dare I say it? ... I drive a Nissan.

My little project car is a '93 factory white pearl Nissan 240sx (S13 fastback). I'm a working student so I don't have a lot of fundage that can go into my car at this time, but I am looking into swapping my headlights with the NSX ones and would like some information on the 91-02 OEM pop-up headlights from you guys. The Pros.. :thumbup:

Does anyone know the dimensions of the headlights, whether they might be a plug and play into my 240sx pop-up without major modifications? Are they HID from factory or just regular bulbs.

Also does anyone know where I can get them from (excluding the dealer)? and how much I would expect to pay for a pair of New? Used?

Thanks a bunch for those that do reply.

Here are a few of my recent pics of my car. However my rims are different now, and I no longer have the APR wing as I sold it. I'm currently wing-less.

'91-01: conventional bulbs, 9006 low beam, 9005 high beam
'02-04: HID

For the '91-01, the headlamp assembly, which consists of the bulbs, the front lenses, and the housing - basically, everything that is underneath the garnish (the painted body panel that covers it) and fits into the bracket, lists for around $500 per side. The garnish lists for $200, the bracket (that holds the headlamp assembly) $300, and the motor $300. Again, prices are per side. You can look up part numbers here.
