headlights

whats up fellas! just a few questions on headlights for my 8. i currently have the diy black out versions on it but there fading and lens is like a yellowish so im looking into getting a new set. just have a few questions on some. first are these jdm mr headlights in this pic? i like them but i cant see spending $1500 on headlights, thats absurd! also if they are the jdm's is there a place that sells replicas??

The JDM lights have amber blinkers and clear running lights, USDM lights are opposite. The first pic I can't tell what the are, I'd guess they're USDM with the blinkers and running lights swapped

second pic is just the DIY black housings with the running lights and blinker housings painted black as well

Just use a heat gun open the lights and spray the housing black and paint the reflectors whatever color you desire then seal it back and call it a day!
