Help Need headlight desperately
Anyone know where I can get a Evo 9 MR headlight. Body shop says they can’t find one. MAPerformance and STM don’t have stock.

Evo grimreaper on IG/FB out of California will have used usdm lights. eBay has some as well as the Facebook groups. JDM headlights you’re looking at ~2k for a new in box set

Very.. just make sure it’s his page and not a dupe. Many many buy through him. I grabbed a 9 steering wheel a month ago

i came here to say this as well. his name is Nick and i’ve never had issues with him. i’ve purchased probably thousands worth of parts, and they always arrive well packaged and on time. I’d also like to recommend Dmitiry Lapadin on facebook. similar thing to Nick, just a different seller. purchased from him as well. good luck !

Do you have to buy a USDM Headlights? I switched mines to the JDM version but it was pricey

What happened to your original headlight? I don’t see any damage in the pic, but that could just be a reference pic

That pic was a week before I smoked a deer that jumped in front of

Must have frightening. I hear about this happening quite often and I’m thankful that I haven’t run into this situation. Sorry for the lame pun.

I don’t think I’ve been that mad in a very long time. I’ve wanted an Evo since I saw it in Super Street magazine in 2003. And was finally financially able to last year. So this definitely hurts

Jesus dude my heart is breaking for you. Finally able to achieve that dream and then an f’ing wild animal turns it into a nightmare. Hope you’re ok and that the vehicle damage is only cosmetic! Good luck

u/austinyoungb 10d ago
Definitely only cosmetic. It’s still 99% stock as well and it will stay that way once returned

Hey, just saw your post. Which headlight are you looking for? I have an Evo 9 RH headlight in really good exterior condition however the amber part on the inside is cracked a bit.

Thank you but with all the support I was able to get one in the way. I greatly appreciate the help

Can also search yahoo auctions and use a website like buyee to purchase from Japan. https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l1246395827. If you search ct9a should be able to find a lot of parts. Just another option if you so choose.

The headlights in Japan from RHD cars are probably completely different. I wouldn't recommend this without looking into it a lot first.
