I am looking into new head lights for my 1999 Lexus RX300. I do not want new bulbs, I want to replace the entire head light both on front left and right side...has anyone in here done this?
I find after market headlamps for $50-$75. New lamps at Lexus go for a few hundred each.

Has anyone replaced theirs with after market lamps and how are they working? Do they fit correctly?

Thanks

 

Have you checked CL lighting sponsors?

I just tried, nothing there, but thank you.

 

Are you looking to replace due to fogging of the lenses?

 

I did mine halo head lights with HID working fine for more than year no problems.

 

I upgraded my 99 to 01-03 style headlights and let me tell you, it took a few years off the look. They really make it look good. I found mine on Craigslist for REAL cheap.

 

I have cleaned the lenses do to the "fogging" 3x, each time it last shorter and shorter. I have just had enough of the dim lights at night (excpept for high beams).

I am still looking into replacing entire units.

 

99 RX,
I am assuming your lights fit the car even though it was different years. I will look into that and see what I can come up with.

What is the HID? I see in alot of listings NO HID.

 

HID stands for high intensity discharge. These are the very white, very bright headlights you see on many luxury cars.

 

I recently cleaned the lenses on my RX and my mother's ES. The two fluids I got at Walmart, for about $6 each. One is the bluish abrasive fluid that cleans them and the other is a clear liquid that (I think) coats and protects. Perhaps you aren't using the clear protective fluid?

 

+1, are you putting on a sealant?

You can see how my headlights looked after the treatment here: They still look like that right now.

 

They fit perfectly, the light housing are the same for 99-03. Get the non HID because our cars didn't come equipped with them originally.
The HID is not a super bright white light, but yet a 4300k bluish bulb that gives off great light. But for now, stick with OEM halogen and upgrade from there once you get the new housings.

 

I found an set on Amazon.com $108.00 for pair, non HID. I should get them this week. I will post before and after photos and let you all know how they work.

 

Hello Dietz, Any update? I need to replace mine as well and am looking for some quality after market units.

 

I bought aftermarket headlights from ebay.....and I tinted the turn signal/fog light area
