I found these for sale and want to order them but do not know what the OEM part number is, the boxes look like toyota boxes to me anyone who could help me out? It would be greatly appreciated.
No such part number. These were simply taken off old headlights. Actually come to think of it i might have a pair somewhere in my garage lol.
Are you sure? it says there brand new I am not calling you out or trying to be rude at all. I am just sharing what the add says its kinda confusing to read.
no worries. honestly they do not look new to me. Bottom portion look a little hazy. The only manufacturer that i know who had headlight lenses was land rover for the previous model range rover. Toyota boxes in that ad look a little too small for those lenses.

The picture looks like it was shot with a potato so that does not help. The lenses look weathered to me also, they look far from new.
These are available in Japan as new OEM covers that come as a kit with instructions, sealant, etc. Make sure these ones include all of that. I am suspect of some of Central Pines offerings because they are still live auctions in Japan and they don't have physical custody of the item so you don't know the quality of what you're buying.
I don't know if they are still in production, might be looking at NOS. I'll look on YAJ later and see if there are any. Remember, in Japan, they are commonly called head lamps and not head lights... if you search for head lights or fog lights you'll usually come up blank.
I dont think that is a toyota box. Looks similar but not exactly the same. These were available in Japan as an oem part, I'm not sure about now, but about 6 years ago i bought some from an oem part store in japan called Ls-japan.com but it looks like the website no longer exists!! They didnt deal with any orders outside of japan and didnt speak english so i had to use a japanese buying service. It worked out perfectly and they arrived safely. The lenses are still on my ls430 today no problems. There are some things to note though:
you will have to remove the whole headlight from the car to replace.
Once removed i didnt oven bake mine i just used a hair dryer and plastic pry tools and have patience and they came apart fairly easily. Once removed its unlikely you can reuse the oem sealant glue. My lenses came with what i thought would be new glue but they were just rubber type spaghetti tubing which had no glue which i wasnt as happy with. They did come with new black self adhesive rubber seals that sit on top of the lense but not for the actual sealing area if that makes sense. Use a good quality butyl tape/putty to seal back up. I got some from a glazier window shop on a roll and it worked beautifully and i have had no leaks or condensation.Just heat the tape again before resealing.
As some have said - have a look at some sites in Japan as you you may still be able to get some lenses. This saved me heaps compared to buying a whole new headlight which costs thousands in my country. Good luck!
I knew I should have bought the last set that I saw... could have flipped them pretty easily. I'm still not sure if I want to go with JDM headlights or not. Thankfully, my current covers are in pretty good shade and the car spends all of it's time in the garage...
