I have no idea where to find these street lights. (I'm an American by the way)

We steal them!
Lol, joking aside. There is the usual suspects of eBay or other online marketplaces but quite a few people have contacts within the street lighting maintenance companies that put aside lanterns when they are removed.

Yes, it's generally online sales or reclaims yards which can hold good lanterns. Some are lucky enough to happen upon a maintenance crew who's willing to give you something. I have a slight advantage of being one of those crews who repairs / replaces lanterns, so I get first dibs for anything worth saving!
