Your vehicle is equipped with High Intensity Discharge Headlamps (HID) with Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) Original equipment replacement is #81185-48260 for the left side. It comes with everything int the box in the picture below. Lexus suggested list price for the part only is $615.60. I have it for $492.48. Thanks. If I've to pay from my pocket, I will buy it from you. Does the above contain everything I need to replace the faulty unit? Please let me know how I've to pay (paypal etc).

I spoke with Lexus corporate office and explained the situation. They said they will escalate the issue and get back to me in 2 days. Lets see what happens. Meanwhile, I'd appreciate if anyone provides me a source to buy OEM parts.

Typo in VIN# Here is the right one . JTJHA31U040013868.Its a Japan built I believe

I was very polite with them. $1300 for part & labor. I'm going to be polite with manufacturer too. Lets see what happens. Is it possible to get this fixed cheaper if I buy the parts myself? What is the best source to get the parts?? thx

That sounds pretty good for a headlamp assembly. Give me the VIN and I'll give you a part number and a price. The VIN # is JTJHA31U0040013868

No luck. They said no and asking $1300 to replace it. When I called them last week, they quoted around $800. The service guy said (before giving the above answer) we likely to charge you because you don't have lot of service history with us. Yes, I service my car with Toyoto since they are cheaper. It appears they extend courtesy to customers who regularly service with them. At this point what I can do? $1300 is too expensive for me. I'm planning to call Lexus on Tuesday and talk to them above my experience with the dealership.

Found it. My car is just out of warranty. So, do you think I can ask them to replace it without charging me by referring to the TSB?

yes. it is out of warrenty. what is TSB?

2004 RX330 AWD Performance package The driver side headlight is gone due to water condensation. Dealership says it will be around $850 to replace it. I've the AFS version with HID. Any ideas how to get this fixed cheaper? Can I buy OEM part anywhere? Does anyone know the part number? Thanks for the help!

Thanks! I did buy genuine toyoto filter and hopefully it should fit..

1st time DIY... Couldn't find engine air filter. Where is it? Thanks!
