Lot of work for essentially the same lights except for the amber where its clear on the USDM. I like JDM as much as the next guy but some things just arent worth it.

I know how you feel I have an 8 as well. if you're really desperate you can put a coat of VHT nite shades on them. Makes them look way better, although you do lose some light output. Just a suggestion

It depends on what yoyu want. evo headlights arent for your average car. The emit a good amount of light especially with the highbeams. Are you trying to get the hid or non hid. Theres a difference in price for that too. If you have yellow on your headlights you can get the film off if you open it up with ajax and a fine toothbrush.

Any "newer" car with HIDs is going to be high. From what I've seen of the cost of Acura, BMW, Cadillac etc HIDs lights the Evo is not that expensive.

I 've had them for last 4 years. One side had the harness separating. Pushed it back together and have not had a problem since.

If you're lucky you can do a trade for them. My buddy traded his 360 for a set a FDM front headlights.
