Headlight mods

Does anyone still offer services to mod your headlights?

I am trying to get my evo9 mr factory headlights to look like the evo8 jdm headlights.

You can buy the amber pieces and stick them in there, but they don't fit perfectly and there will be a small gap in the front corner. can't see it from more than 2 feet away though

I would buy authentic jdm headlights and sell stocker. Nothing like real one. That's just me.

yeah, I'd do the real thing too. You could get a good amount for your 9MR headlights depending on the condition.

Yeah I plan on doing it eventually just cant justify the price. I also read that since I have factory hids and fogs they dont directly bolt into the 8mr jdm headlights?

the harness will swap right over i believe. not sure if the bulbs are the same though but that shouldnt be an issue as the jdm lights should come with bulbs and such why you buy them

Used JDM headlights shouldnt be too much. Everything is direct plug in except fog light. You need a different harness. JDM amber piece is crazy hard to find item unless someone crashes and decides to part it out.
