Well, what you need, basically, is a set of buckets and mounting 
brackets that they fit that hold the 5 1/4" round lights.  Then you 
figure out a way to integrate them with your cars sheet metal, which 
might mean kludging them together with a set of brackets that fit your car.

Back in the day, I was able to use some early 80's (late 70's?) Audi 
brackets and buckets.  Probably very hard to find these days.  So, I'd 
recommend chasing down a decent BMW junkyard.  Remember, they never went 
to the crappy DOT aero lenses, they stayed with quad round lamps until 
the US DOT specs finally allowed decent areo headlights to be made.

Once you have your hands on a set of buckets/brackets, it's just a 
matter of figuring out how to make them boltable to your car, and 
deciding how to deal with cosmetic issues, if you care.

You won't find a "kit," you are going to learn how to weld...
