I bow to you Fieroguru. This list is EXACTLY what I have been looking for!!

Unfortunately most of these involve major bodywork/fabrication. I am going to limit myself roughly to the area of the existing holes in my hood.

And I am afraid that many of these will not have great illumination due to the bulbs sitting back in a hole. That is fine for show cars, but my car is going to be driven all the time.

These appear to be the best option for what I want. I am anxious to see what I can find.

But in the mean time I have already given up on the idea of carving lenses from existing headlights. Instead, if I can't find what I want, I will try thermoforming acrylic lenses. They would have to bulge above the hood to allow the bulbs to sit forward, but if I make the front of the lens vertical and make them match the size/shape of the square holes in the bumper directly beneath them they will look very natural.

And even if it is a complete failure I will have fun trying. This car is a toy. I am going to enjoy playing with it.

At Carlisle there was a guy that was not happy with the frontal light output of his headlights and he did this:

Big Deal, Not... Many have "Fog" and "Driving" for Decades but Big problem is most are Garbage and blind other people.

Those are "-" because Very few Aftermarkets kits are "Dot Approved" and performance is all over the spectrum. LED units are no difference here.

Even ignore that, many states and other places have rules when you run them if even allowed to run them.
1. Low Beam HL must be On at same time.
2. Many go further and restrict only On in bad weather.

This Is why Most Factory Driving lights for 20+ years always default to Off every time the vehicle is started. Either by switch/"relay" design like many rear defog setups or control by BCM is default Off.
Cave pages have "Correct" Relay setup for them for same reason but doesn't "Reset" to Off if aux light switch is On.[/QUOTE]

You worry too much about government bureaucrats on things that are seldom if ever challenged on a custom vehicle. In my state they don't ever inspect cars over 25 years old or those registered as special interest vehicles. If you ask m,e more light upfront makes a car safer not less safe.
