Default Lexus RX triple beam headlight bulb change

Does any one have any knowledge about changing just the bulb on this Lexus. My headlight had a crack and started getting condensation. Eventually the light went out. I called Lexus and they have said that the whole light needs to be changed. Is there any way to just change the bulb without replacing the whole head light?

impossible to find a bulb. You have to replace the whole light. Get a used on off eBay.

Even if it were possible, you'd be replacing it time & again as the crack would allow moisture inside.
The suggestion to get a whole new unit from a wrecker is a good oneand don't forget to get the unit re-aimed!

Keep an eye on your local facebook marketplace, craigslist, or even ebay. You'll every now and then see a random person selling 1 headlight in excellent condition for next to nothing. I've seen 2 RX350 LED headlights over the last year, 1 jaguar F-Pace LED headlight, and 1 Mercedes C300 AMG laser headlight go for around $100 bucks on craigslist. Clearly these people didn't know the value of what they had, but that's what they were selling for.
