where can i find headlights that are not $1000?!

hello everyone, still fairly new to the evo game and i was wondering where i can buy either evo 9 headlights or jdm ones...basically anything besides the stock chrome 8's. but no matter what i find is like upwards of $600 which is just plain insane for a set of headlights. thanks in advance

uh waht?

Headlights on any newer car are going to be expensive. If you don't want to pay the money, bake yours, open them, and paint the housings a different color

Unfortunately there arent many options out there. My headlights were yellowed pretty badly and instead of paying for new ones, I used the Rain x headlight kit to fix them and it works great if you know how to do it. If you just want to replace the chrome looking ones for jdm's youre gonna have to pay!

Only thing Depo makes for Evo's are the JDM tail lights. They never made any headlights (no ugly head light mods).

Ya my Brand New JDM headlights cost me $1400. But men do they look nice and worth every penny. Your best chance is to buy used JDM headlight or get your stock ones re-down
Good luck

JDM headlights, with the wrong beam pattern, on American roads =

Just get your stock headlights painted so you're not blinding people.
