Source for those absolutely terrible diamond cut / clear headlight housings?

I'm looking for a set to put my projector retrofit in, and it looks as though they just plain aren't available in Canada. Probably due to some law...

So then I start digging through eBay, and they are nice and cheap... a bunch are available for about $10! Then I check the shipping, and they want another $50 for shipping. This is getting ridiculous.

Anyone have a spare set they want to get rid of? I need the plastic ones, so I can cut them up easier. I can't work well with glass.

Alternatively, anyone know where I can get a set without getting bent over and rammed for shipping?

EDIT: the ballast comes very close like a couple mm to the rad support but does not hit and i have never had a problem since i have owned the car for 2 years. p.o did the work and i really dont see a problem in it as i love the lighting and its a cheap alternitive to spending 7-1k$ on a legit setup.

this is a oem retro fit setup not cheap ebay shit and it does the job very well.

I think I have a set.I housing is chipped along the lens edge but some RTV and it would be sealed. Once installed you wouldnt see it. 1 is taken apart. You can have them for 10 plus actual shipping. I changed my mind on my retro and went with non flip ups and 2 sets of projectors. I can get pics Wednesday of them for ya. They are still competely use able for a retro as you need to take them apart anyway. The glue they use is way different that a regular headlight. PM if if you want them.
