  1. In case its just the lens or the reflector inside no longer appears to have a mirror finish they are sold here. No idea what these aftermarket parts cost but the GS350 OEM lens retails for $205 and more OEM headlight parts are available separately through Lexus. http://www.oemxenonshop.com/Lexus-GS-S190-Headlight-LensCover-GS300-GS350-GS430-GS450-Headlamp-Plastic-Lenses-Covers-Replacement.html Below is a basic headlight design being tinted for the 4Runner but it details how to separate the lens from the body of a headlight assembly. I have used this method to reseal my leaky 4Runner headlights and it worked out fantastic for me. Understand I have never tried this method on an "Adaptive GS/LS headlight" assembly with more sensitive parts inside though? If anyone has an old "Adaptive" headlight laying around and wants to separate them in an oven like this to try and clean/repair them please let us know how well this or other methods worked/failed. Separating headlight lens/body easily without damaging its sensitive internal parts is something dyi people will need to know because these headlight designs are here to stay rather we like them or not folks. We can only hope their replacement cost lowers substantially. fwiw- I just set my basic 4Runner headlight assembly in the oven on a board and everything came apart with very little effort so if this method works as well with these I'd say its an excellent way of separating headlight/lens and Lexus offers most internal headlight parts separately so the whole headlight assembly may be saved relatively cheap in some cases. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/94693-blacked-out-headlights-06-sport-diy.html
