I was wondering if anybody has attempted to get a company to make us projecter headlights? There is alot of interest in these and there seems to be quite a few companies that do this. If they were sold cheaper than JDM I would get some. Has any body ever tried?

Okay, I just sent a few emails to ask if they were interested. I emailed Maxzone, Anzo, TYC, and a few other places. Lets see what they say. Here's the email I sent them:
Dear ____________, My name is Anh-Tuan Tran, I am a member of a 6th generation Celica forum known as www.6gc.net. I am writing to you guys because I am trying to find a manufacturer that can produce projector headlamp sets for the 1994-1999 (6th generation) Celicas. The 6th generation Celica comes with 4 headlamps, and there are currently no aftermarket company that produces aftermarket headlamps for these cars. Toyota, however; does make a JDM set of projector headlamps for the low beams and diamond clear headlamps for the high beams. They are very expensive, costing over $800 for the set. They take forever to get and not always easy to come by. The main complaint with all 6th gen Celica owners is that their stock headlamps are ugly because the lamps are not clear and have ridges on the inside for “better light reflection.” All Celica owners hate the way it looks. Almost everyone who owns a 6th gen Celica have tried looking for cheaper alternatives to a better looking headlamp set that doesn’t cost them over $800. Most have fail, and those who succeeded end up spending over $800 to achieve better looking headlamps. The main reason that I am writing to you guys is to ask if you have the capability of producing headlamps for the 6th gen Celicas. The design exist already, everybody loves the way the JDM Toyota headlamps look and consider it to be one of the best looking modifications to their car. You can take this design and make your own version out of it. If you guys have the capability to produce these headlamps, let me know what all you need me to do in order to help you guys produce them. I can provide you with a lot of buyers, just let me know the minimum you need, and I’ll get that many. Also, please let me know if you guys can produce them much cheaper than the JDM headlamps and give me an estimate of how much they will cost. I am thinking a price range of $300- $450 for all 4 headlamps will be reasonable for both the seller and buyer. You can sell the low beam and high beam headlamp sets separately too for around $250 each. There are a lot of Celica owners, I can guarantee 100% that you will make profit from producing these. I can write up a formal proposal if you need or get you a list of names to prove to you guys that there are plenty of interests in having these made. The interest is worldwide, pretty much every Celica owner in the world wants them. If you can pitch this idea to whoever is in charge at _________, that would be most helpful. Thank you very much for your time. Regards, Anh-Tuan Tran PS: here are some pictures for reference.
