I would suggest searching through salvage yards [LKQ as an example]. Next alternative may be aftermarket [sorry I can't suggest any]

There is no plug and play solution as I know it.

Try eBay for a used one. Swapping to the halogen lights is far more complicated than you think and the best option is to replace your broken headlight housing as Salim suggested above.
Another good online source for used Lexus parts is http://www.rancholexusrecycling.com/

He needs a headlamp assembly, not just a bulb.
