Evo VIII aftermarket headlights

im in need of some headlights to finish my build and put my car back on the road.

I have found some oem one's for like $1000+, I'm not ready to pay that high for them.

so my question is, where can i buy some aftermarket headlights? I know ebay has a bunch for the evo X, but can't find crap for the VIII..

any help will be appriciated

Been asking the same for a while. I don't think anyone makes aftermarket headlights for the ct9a body style.

I'm surprised there aren't any knockoff brands. That sucks

It is my understanding that the JDM units are incorrectly aimed as well.

the shields in the projectors just need to be replaced with USDM shields so that the cutoffs are "aimed" for the correct driving side of the road

Exactly... either wait on a part out, hit up a junk yard, or break bread!
