$528 for a used set. Ouch. ![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)
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

Book rate on the tail Lights is $152 for qtr mount and $130 for lid What I can't fathom is why the quarter mount is more expensive and 1/2 the size

Lex, very simple reason. The corner tailight assembly contains more bulb/socket connections than the trunk lid tailight assembly, therefore more parts are required.

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.

You are conveying a sarcastic, wise guy attitude while asking for a favor? 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.
