Default Condensation in Headlights

Hello all,
I was wondering if someone knows how I can get replacements for my headlights. I have a lot of condensation in my headlights. The lights are good to go. Lexus wants to charge $592.00 per headlight.

Thanks in Advance,

Off topic slightly but if you bought the car new, have you asked the dealer for help on the issue? If it's an HS, which I assume it is, it's not very old to be having such a problem unless they're physically damamged in one way or another. What kind of headlight is it? The standard or the optional headlights?

They are the standard. I have asked the dealer for help and he said my warranty is out. I have had the car for 2 yrs. I bought it used. It is the HS250h (2010),

You get a discount at Sewell Lexus for being a member of Club Lexus. Register with your Club Lexus name.

It should be much cheaper than the local guys. I would also look on eBay. I quickly found several there.

Also compare prices with Lexus South Atlanta. http://www.lexussouthatlantaparts.com/

You don't need new headlights. Find someone local who can open up headlights and reseal them.

No problems. No need to get brand new head lights for such a little problem. Just make sure you find someone who knows what they are doing and will warranty their work.
