I've seen kits with the projectors.
The process you'll have to do, is remove your headlights, "bake" them at a low temperature to soften the adhesive, mount the projector, and re-seal them after aligning the light output. I have not seen anyone with a Stratus do this project, but there is no reason it cannot be done. Main concern is to get a good balast kit, cheap kits will burn out the balasts rather quickly leaving you without lights. There is a guy on the Chrysler Van forum that added projectors to his Town & Country.

hey.. check out my album.. i will upload more pictures.. i first made my headlights clear lens,, and a few weeks later, i bought projectors and installed them.. cost about $250 - $300 and took about 45min - 1hr per side.. remember the amount of prep work you put into it, will make it a better finish.. always take your time and be sure to have backup, in the event this is your only car. im available if you have questions about the retrofit process. also Matt @ TRS (theretrofitsource) is a good guy to speak to, as he used to drive a 2nd Gen Stratus Coupe
