New headlights or aftermarket
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

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.

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?

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.
