You're gonna have a heart attack when you see how much these headlights cost! And you have to remove the front bumper to replace them. I hope insurance is paying for it.

HID projector headlights with self leveling motor is going to cost a lot!

If you want something durable and long lasting, your best bet is to go with OEM.

You can try sourcing from junkyards for used OEM units if you want to save money.

You can get new headlight assemblies at lexuspartsnow.com, I believe they're $931 each, or at the dealer for probably around $1300 each. Or you can look on car-part.com for a used set

Here in the UK you can just get the body and reflector and transfer the motors etc to the new one so they look brand new from the lexus dealer they are £160 far better than buying them complete and throwing away all the servicable bits

That's a great idea.

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked out the site but unfortunately they're currently out of stock.

My car is 2008 GS 460. I think the ones for the hybrid are a little different. I emailed the guys to see if they have GS 460 in stock and they said none available currently I wish I could use these on my car though because that's a good price.

I thought they were exactly the same. My car is a 2007 GS 350 and I fitted the 2008-2009 GS 450h without issues.

For me they are the same headlights mate, the only thing is that the ones on ebay doesn't have the headlamp washers cut in the bezel, but, if your chrome bezels are good its very easy to swap if yours came without washers I don't see any problems at all.

Oh ok. Thanks for that info. I'll try them out. Yes my washer bezels are still good. Did the ones you purchased have AFS? I didn't see that in the description.
