You ought to be able to get them from an importer, but the car never made it state-side, so it might hurt a bit.

[Foolinaround]

Yeah,this car hurts a lot already.

I wouldn't necessarily say that they're super rare, because anything that came OEM on a car in the 90's (aside from exotics and really weird items) can be found in either the after market or through the dealership network. What makes them rare is that FTO's were never sold outside of Japan, The United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand and when they were available they only sold about 35,000 units over the time they were produced, with almost two-thirds being produced for the 1994 model year.

That being said, I'm quite sure that you could contact your friendly neighborhood JDM place and have them find you a set, you just might have to wait for a bit. There's not really a demand for FTO body parts in the US because the car was never sold here, though I believe the motor can be swapped into some American Mitsubishi Products (I say products because Mitsubishi made cars for everyone and their brother in the late 80's and throughout the 90's) but I may be wrong. Art or Alex should be able to chime in and give you some more insight on this.

Actually, as of the time I write this post there are two sets of FTO headlights for sale on eBay, one set black and non-HID and the other Black and HID going for $270 and $760 Respectively.
