Jdm Headlights

I was trying to get some cool looking JDm Headlights or possibly some JDm corner lights or the taillights

Does anybody have there or can suggest where to look for them or what the name is, because i tried searching and couldnt find anything but the stock kind.

ThankS!

If you want true JDM stuff, then go to www.corksport.com . They sell JDM headlights, and JDM clear corners, for $250 and $100, respectively. However, on Ebay, you can find cheaper knock-offs for clear corners for around $20. As for headlights, Corksport is the only way.

P.S. JDM headlights will look good with JDM clear corners. However, because its JDM, the light would cast slighty to the left, and not to the right like E- or US-specs would. Also, JDM like the US headlights have plastic lens, that will eventually turn yellow. The only glass lens you can get is by buying E-spec (Euro) from Germany. Sometimes you can find them on www.ebay.de . If not, they are usually $150 a piece.

No, not 'cast', 'scatter'.
They cast straight like the USDM lights, but, scatter/fade to the right instead of the left...
Take a look at my primative drawing.
The pic on the left represents JDM, the rights is USDM.
They both shine straight ahead, but, the leight 'fades' to the left for JDM, right for USDM.
If an animal is ahead of the car, both lights will focus on the animal, but, the JDM lights will partially light up whats in front of the animal, the USDM will light up...the....um......rear!
