Looking for some Vintage JDM lights, but can't find them???

I used to see these on ebay often, but it seems that they've disappeared. I googled, but came back with squat. Anyone know of a reliable/reputable JDM supplier to get these from?

I know they usually go for good money, but I'm willing to fork out the $200-$250 for them plus the ride.

I know. It sucks because a couple of years ago there were a bunch available on ebay. Now I can't find any. I was thinkinh about finding a set of 6" amber lights and making the covers out of metal.

I know. I might actually find a set of 6"+ amber lights and make the cages myself.

Well, my search is over. I got a set off of a guy over at ih8mud. They are clear lights, but beggars can't be choosers. They should be here on Monday per USPS tracking (and the weather).


Here's a pic to hold me over 'til then.

No. The seller had them on the shelf for his Land Cruiser, but they didn't fit well with his bumper and winch. They were steadily available on ebay a couple of years ago, but have completely vanished.

Do you by any chance have a part number for them? I really want a set for my truck now that you have turned me on to those sexy things!

Yeah, they are sweet like most of the JDM stuff most of us Americans got screwed out of such as BJ series Land Cruisers, full floaters, cable lockers to name a few. We traded that in for IFS and pretty interiors.

Yeah, they look alright (and probably don't pass DOT regulations), but I wouldn't lose sleep over not finding any.

Cable lockers? For a truck? Go on...
