look into a TEK or icecap T5 HO retro kit. you wont be able to use a fixture if you want to keep the lid

the ballast are remote so all you have to fit in the lid are the lights, reflectors and end caps which only require a few inches. you should go for a 4 bulb kit. you can always upgrade or degrade later.
