I searched and only found these website who sell them quite expensive:
http://www.mcgeorgeparts.com
http://www.trdsparks.com
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com
http://www.partstrain.com
I'm not quite sure about www.autopartswarehouse.com and www.partstrain.com because they don't have an image of what they're selling. I'm a visual type of person.
I obviously don't want to get it from eBay.
Thanks!

trdsparks is pretty cheap if you tell me....
you try going to a dealership and asking how much they'll sell you them for.... now that's what expensive is.
otherwise.. check junkyards.

I inquired at a famous junkyard around my area and the guy at the main entrance doesn't even know that Scion is a brand name of a car. 
He said, "Duh, we have tons of cars in the lot...Mostly old ones... Duhh... just pay the entrance fee and see for yourself."
I checked 2 branches and ended up empty handed.

ebay isnt that horrible place to buy stuff, you just have to watch out for fakes, which are everywhere, but it makes me laugh at the fakeness! But you can get some pretty good stuff on ebay for a good price.
I've been looking around and the cheapest I found is a place called Fellmer Motors. 866 881-0888. They sell aftermarket headlamps $99 each side. There aftermarket but they guy on the phone said there exact replica's

Noodle, how easy is it to bake open the headlights and putting them back together? I see that you've done retrofits 4 times now.
I actually did couple more retro. I just don't have images of them. If you want to open your headlights, bake them at 220 degrees for 20 mins. Some people prefer baking them at higher temp but shorter time. However, I like to play it safe. If you want to close them, bake them at 220 for 15 mins. Then, seal them up with silicone. Make sure you cover everything or you'll get fogs.

I'm thinking of just baking my headlights without buying replacement parts.
