Yes Ive been planning on doing the Morimoto H1s for a while now. I just haven't had an extra $300 lately... 
1996 Ford Bronco Morimoto H1 Retrofit
As for those asking about price. $150 for the projector kit. $110 for the Morimoto 3Five ballast(you could go with a cheaper ballast if you wanted). Then the price of headlights you want.(if you dont have aftermarket already) Relay harness if you dont already have one $30.

Just go on ebay and type in 95 F150 headlights or Bronco headlights. There are hundreds.

Do you have HIDs in the Euro headlights or are they still halogen bulbs?
Edit: Sorry... took a quick look on ebay... I thought you meant they were selling the headlight with projector already in it. My mistake.

they do look about the same size but i have a feeling that would be very expensive and they might not line up quite right

All the projector lights are ugly and just don't look right on our trucks. That said, the ones that Slowroll90 posted actually don't look nearly as bad as the others. If you want to go HID, projector lights is the only partially correct way to do it. The optics of the regular lenses is designed for halogen capsule bulbs, not HID. It will produce excessive glare to oncomming drivers, and is illegal for a reason.

i can also agree , most projector lights look terrible unless the car came with them, i did them for the purpose of lighting the road better, the stock lights still look the best on these trucks
