This question has been asked time and time again and being a considerate PO.com member I won't be a jerk and tell you off.

Basically, most people with a 4TH GEN are wondering the same thing. How can we get these JDM lights for cheap?

Here are some ways:
1. You have connections with a Japan exporter.
2. Classified ads online and in newspapers.
3. eBay.com.

Retail for these bad boys used to be from $500-$650.
Prices have gone down to $300-$475.

I've got mine from eBay.com for $339 (pick up in Baldwin Park, CA) and I sold my stock USDM lights for $200. You do the math.

My honest opinion is find any JDM lights from $300-$350 or lower if you can. Anything higher ain't worth it.

I was trying, the problem is that every seller of them wont really hook them up. Basically in a bulk of 5 headlights, I will only be able to get about $10 off; so its just not worth the risk of getting ripped off by one of these sellers, since they primarily do not accept secure payment, and only accept check or money order.

The cheapest is probably going to be ebay.

The cheapest way is to find people that import front clips...they buy them for the engines...just walk in there and make offers on the lights

Like I said...Japanese importers/exporters. There a LOT of people importing front clips of JDM H22 engines and they really don't need the lights. That's probably the cheapest. Find a racing shop that does that kind of stuff or garage.

I got my JDM headlights for $350 shipped and sold my USDM headlights for $510 shipped. Well worth it if you ask me.

When you sell your USDM headlights, put them into separate auctions ... you will receive more money.
