Found this seller on ebay with oem headlamps for $280 ea. i will need two.

I'm prepared to pay this but before I pull the trigger are there any dealers with a better price?

thanks

Ebay: SALE PRICE IS $279.95

LIST PRICE AT YOUR LOCAL DEALER IS MORE THAN $356.00 RETAIL

SHIPPING IS $15.00

I don't know if they will still be cheaper once posted to the US though.

Doh!! My bad, I didn't see the 189 pounds on top there. Sorry to repeat you KI! I'm not sure what's going on on that page...?!

If you add one to your cart it says 109 pounds.

Default Careful, I got scammed on Lex Headlights on ebay

I recently bought a 'pair' of used lights, supposedly from a 99. They were supposed to be professionally polished. The picture in the ad looked good.

But what I received was one left low beam and one right high beam, not a pair, not polished, not in the best of shape.

I filed a complaint through my credit card and was told that to get my money back I had to return them. I did so and got them back again--the address was bogus. The phone number was included in the shipping docs, but when I called they insisted that they had never heard of the person. I think they were lying, but hard to prove.

The seller's name was Julia Stopyra. <iebaymonkey@gmail.com> AKA wine*sorbet

She never answered a single one of my emails.

really only my passenger is leaking, it is evident the person who owned the car cleaned the driver and re-sealed so it stays looking ok. But I'd like to just get two brand new ones and be done with it...would sell the old ones to whoever wanted them.

wouldn't shipping from the UK add up to almost the same ? I'm in texas. Is there going to be a group buy soon?

sorry to hear that, this seller has 99+ positive feedback all from people buying toyota/lexus headlights and other misc. parts. so I'm not too worried about a scam, just getting the best price.

I believe all the headlights that were produced after a certain year will have a better cutoff line. That production year has passed so all the ones you buy from the dealers today, no matter for what car year, should be the newer headlights.

yes!

My driver's side is 93, and the passenger side is 99....with the Raybrig bulbs I have in there, it looks like I have one HID and one regular headlight. I would reccomend getting them from a dealer instead of used or ebay. Safer and an improvement instead of a replacement...
