Where to buy evo 8 headlight lense

Both of my headlights are cracked and I was wondering if it was possible to buy just the lenses without the headlight housings. I will try going to a dealer if there is no luck on here but someone must have had a similar problem...

before u waste ur money at a dealership, try seaching for used headlights on here. everyone pretty much hates the ugly VIII headlights so they either paint them or sell them. if there's nothing for sale, u can try to pm evodave, who is/was the headlight guru on EvoM...i think he's on to bigger and better things now, but he may be able to help u sort things out

or contact russellm from mitsubishiparts.net and see if there is a part number. It most likely will be cheaper to buy the lens over the entire headlight

Thanks for the advice guys, I've only had my evo for about two weeks and have been avidly searching for headlights during my time with it. I have found a few headlights in the $300-400 range but it just seems like a lens would be much cheaper!

not sold separately as you've already found out

I'd talk to evodave, he's your best bet right now
