Ebay is probably your best bet. What do you mean look good? Look good on the car or light output?

Bang for the buck projectors would be the TSX projectors. They are compact, offer one of the best light output and one of the sharpest cutoff, while retaining a low price (usually 180 or so a pair).

My first gen gs was the same color and I had tsx projectors but I also de-lined all the lines off the headlight lense so I could get more output or you could use bosch e46 projectors

Putting cost aside I think the LS430 projectors are the best. I was amazed the first time I saw an LS430 on the highway at night. The TSX are good too and they're less expensive but a notch lower than the LS430. You could also do bi-xenon projectors but you might not use that function too much. I did the Bosch bi-xenon projectors on my retrofit but I wish I had gone with the LS430 projectors.

I finished my LS430 retro in my GS. I almost wreck everytime I drive at night now. I just cant stop looking at the sharp cutoff and color reflecting off things.

That is true but the ls430 is way too big for a 1st gen gs I would go with s2000,sc430,tsx,or rx330. My very first retro on my 94 gs was with rs6 projectors and even they were too big not enough room for left to right adjustment because the rs6 and a 1st gen gs both have a 3in diameter lense but the three tripod type lense holder legs eat up space for clearance
