Default I keep seeing these Blackhousing Headlights, Where do you get em?

Every now and then I glance through some Gallery's and notice that these 94-97 Accord's have black housing headlights with no projectors. I have searched everywhere for these things and still no luck. The only thing that I have seen is black housing projectors and I they are not what I was looking for. I see these real JDM headlights on ebay made by Stanley every once and a while but they are $600.00.......Just wondering where you all get yours.

I have heard that you can use the stock headlight housing and take them apart.
You'll need a heat gun to melt the silicon and separate the clear cover form the back housing. Then you need to purchase some gray spray film paint (?no clue where) that you spray on the housing. Then silicone the cover back on.

Make very sure you seal it air tight to prevent any moisture.

I am pretty sure they are all homemade...less you got 600 to drop.

By the way do you know any info on doing a is300 trunk convertion??
