You can't buy that, what i've seen is people get vynil stickers and put them over... if you want the inserts you must find someone parting out JDM headlights, which is very unlikely to happen

All of the vinyl overlay jobs I've seen look horrible. That was very rare seeing those inserts for sale. I wish our headlights came like that. Just another cheap trick Mitsubishi played on the USDM evos to make it look worse. Besides minor cost savings why would they decide to eliminate amber turn signals from both the front and back of the car?

Don't bank on finding another pair of inserts. They do make for a nice improvement over evo 8 headlights but paying $1400 for jdm headlights is just outrageous. Just paint them black and move onto the next mod. If you are looking to embark on a headlight project then a tsx projector, bulb, and ballast conversion would be sweet while you are in there. I've been debating it.

buy some tamiya clear orange paint and spray the clear lense part where the orange reflector would go, and also spray the clear chrome backing. thats probably the closest you can get and what i plan on doing.
