$528 for a used set. Ouch. 
How'd you find inners on car-part? I called every freaking guy on that list and they had nothing. I've been doing it for months too.
There was a set on ebay a few days ago. I should have offered more. Oh well. I'll have to get brand new one's at discount now

Dealerships and parts companies price their parts differently, mainly based on geographic location and supply-and-demand logic. For example, I am sure Lexus parts in MA in general cost more than, let's say, Texas, where luxury cars are kind of a hot commodity down there. We should just deal with these varying price quotes and learn to smart-shop around.
This thread is getting nowhere, IMO
, and for the sake of not inducing any more possibly heated debate, I propose to have this thread locked/closed.

I am well aware of pricing, I do not need you to explain it. IRA Lexus is the cheapest because of their monopoly and buying power (they come from midwest) Lexus of Norwood is just a bunch of crooks.
I called Watertown, Norwood, Danvers and Autofair in Manchester. Ira was the cheapest.
I wanted to See if If I use my friend's discount at IRA if it would offest the difference of finding some one cheaper (anywhere)
Anyway it appears your offended that you were corrected. It takes a man to be corrected and accept it. You apparently can't.
Seems like YOU have the arrogance issue not me.Moreover, You always throw your two cents in like it's GOSPEL

That will get you no where asking for a favor from me, "buddy"One of the reasons we don't allow auction style bidding in our marketplace is the issue you exhibit here, LexDiamond. It causes problems. If you didn't bid enough for the lights on eBay, that's your problem for not wanting the lights enough to put in a higher bid, not Frank's. Keep complaining about it off the forums.
Good luck to all finding your lights.
