my car is in the body shop.
one of my headlights had to be replaced on my 01 gs300
the new headlight looks clear. to my knowledge, Lexus has a green tinted headlamp. so now one looks green and one clear. the shop tried to say the old lamp has fade and turned green. i just want to verify that Lexus has the green tint headlamp before i confront them.
thanks AJ

The shop's guess of saying the old lamp has faded to green is incorrect.
The consensus is that '98-'00 headlights are clear and '01+ have a green tint. There's also dark chrome (Platinum) and titanium (Sport Design).

The two different part numbers you sourced are for HID and non-HID housings. The color of the headlights depends on the year or edition.

Lexus is only showing one part # for the non hid that year and the lexus dealer said he has never seen green tinted head lights. i wonder if some changed the headlight before me and used a different year. i need to find the green part numbers. any help!!
