    The lense costs the most, use google and have a quick look on ebay, you can often find a few usefull tips.

    good luck on it.

    Yes ebay is a good place for lenses, google around for ones that will work. As for lamps, you'll want the brightest possible, so some sort of halogen, xenon, or other bulb will work. Automotive bulbs should be good because they run on a nice 12v.

    Also, take a look at this project and ask the_gnu if you have any questions.
