kvle Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Hi all , My 1999 LX470 has right headlight lens broken . A small stone hit it when I was driving on freeway . Does anybody know where I can buy one to replace it ( aftermarket part is fine ) ? Thanks
1990LS400 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I've never seen the lens for any Lexus headlight being available separately like they are on some European cars. I think you are stuck with buying the whole assembly. There are a bunch of on-line sellers that discount Lexus parts ... like http://www.lexuspartsonline.com/index2.htm...p;siteid=214281 You might check Sewell Lexus: http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/ I see a used right side LX470 headlight assembly on eBay today for $149 although the description says it has a small chip in the lens. Or check a salvage yard including the ones with websites -- most are in networks that can find parts. You might try using some clear epoxy to close up the hole on your damaged lens unless it is completely trashed.

NicLX470 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Yeah usually you can get them on ebay for cheap. Maybe ones that are cracked and chipped like yours already or that have tabs missing. Which is no big deal. A new one from the dealership will run you about $450.00. I HAVE seen a few on ebay that are aftermarket that kind of have the "halo" type feature that BMW uses...but I think they look cheap. If you are REALLY wanting to save some money.....fill in the crack or chip with a hot glue gun!! It won't be that obvious.

I checked on Ebay and searched on Google as well as checked on some local junk yards but none of them have the one I need . Yes. You are right . If I get this right headlight assembly from dealer, it would cost me over 400 bucks . Currently I am using some clear tape and it looks pretty good . Probably I would use some clue as you suggested to save money .
