There's more on ebay just look. No gurantee on what quality they are. FYI you could paint your stockers that's what I did.

Is it really that FREAKIN hard to look a little bit, or maybe even SEARCH for once???? It is not like there isn't an exact same thread on the first page or anything...

And BTW, for the record, you can't get JDM headlights for our cars. Our cars were never on the Japanese market, so anything you get will be strictly USDM.

1. Black housing headlights aren't JDM, they're aftermarket DIY jobs, or just plain eBay specials.

2. JDM headlamps aren't worth the dollars some people spend to get them. Just crack yours open and spray the chrome with some high heat black paint, if need be.

honestly why waste the money on buying new ones?

the only thing i would do if i had to do would buy new stock ones that are perfect off ebay and then use those for the black housings

what i did was

i took a torch and went around the plastic really slowly with it on low so the sealent would get gooey then i just took a flat head screw driver and pryed it apart and then once i had enough room to put my fingers in there i pulled it all the way apart.

and then you simply undo the screws and carefully pull out the chrome housings

then you can paint them what ever color u want.

i used about 2 layers of paint and 1 clear coat and it seems to be doing good with no fading.

after that just put the head light assembly back to gether carefully and use silicon or some other sealent around the edges and press it together..

don't forget to use the clips that came off the lights or you will have leaks

It's safer to just put the headlights in your oven at 185deg. for about 5min. to get the sealant to budge.
