I did a kit from theretrofitsource.com I think it came out looking clean and they are a good solution to our cars junk lighting. I think something like this in a stock housing with a green led ring would get you what you were looking for and you would get the added benefit of being able to see at night.

Everyone does understand that pre-87 are all sealed beam headlights, right?

That looks great! Only problem is there is no projector that will fit the four eyed headlights. You'd have to take the glass lense off and use a headlight cover. Takes a bit of work. But has been done. Here's a Capri to get the jist.

Teh noobz , if you check my post i addressed this , the one i posted will keep the glass stock lense and my85gt mentioned before so it would not chnage the look of the car but would allow nick to run an obnoxious green hid kit in them for the track which would look awesome at night

I have all new head light wiring. Not sure if it will support the load of hids but that is easy to change. I'm a bit confused with all of the ideas floating around now lol. I want it to appear relatively the same as the current lights but light up green. I like the idea that @madspeed has but I think they are too big. @MY 85 GT do you have a link for the lights you used?

Well I'll be damned. Shoot a year ago I couldn't find anything like those. I could find lights that had projectors in them but they weren't for HID, they still used halogen bulb.

They make HID housings that will fit in place of the bulbs but they all look terrible.

I can't say that I've ever met an HID conversion for a 4-eye that didn't look it was tossed in by the Pep Boys service center with Altezza in the rear and an under-glow kit.

What i sent you should fit , same as your stock glass housing. I dont think there are too many sizes as far as those lights went. And me and madspeed posted the same size so i would believe thats it

The hids are simple. Being that they only draw high amperage for about the first 30 seconds and once on use i think no more then 3-7amps once lit.
