I bought mine on this site, the guy had two more sets. But that was awhile back. They pop up on here once in awhile.

there are threads on here that show you how to get that jdm look if thats what your looking for, it involves baking them to split the case and painting the insides seem like a cool idea. i cant bring myself to do though o.O im afraid of fudging it up

because they know there are people like you out there that are willing to pay ungodly amounts for headlights that do the exact same function as your US counter-part stock ones.
