Looking the Lightning Earpods, but can't seem to find a USB 3 or 2 to Female Lightning adapter. Anyone know anything or where I could find one?

Unlikely as lightning cables have circuitry in them.
If you are just replacing the USB end of the cable it MIGHT work, but it would depend on what kind of circuitry is in the cable and where it is located.
If there is anything beyond a bog-standard USB on one end then probably not, if one end IS just USB then this might work.
If you do it post back to this question with your results.
The only official Lightning / Micro USB adapter sold by Apple is the Lightning to Micro USB adapter as shown below:
There doesn't seem to be an adapter for the reverse of this.

Best Answer
Per the system requirements on the Lightning EarPods store page, an iPhone, iPod or iPad running iOS 10 or higher is required to use them. Even if you had a USB adapter it wouldn't work because there are no drivers in the OS for them.
