Default Cheap ES350 Clear Door Lens

Hey...alright here is what to do to get it...Bear with me

Go to this site: http://www.lexusautoparts.com/lexus_OEM_catalog.html ...once you are there type in the part #: 8123047010 and press search. On the next page you will see it say LAMP ASSY, COURTESY with a price of $13.66 each.

However, this site matches/beats the price of other websites so the lowest I ever found on any website was $11.90. That website was http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=214592 (again, where it says part # type it in and press search and you will see the price listed as $11.90. The only reason why I didn't buy directly from this site was that they were charging $10.00 for shipping , even though it weighs close to nothing, while the site above selling at $13.66 was FREE SHIPPING).

So I just then contacted the website (Lexus Auto Parts the first website with the price of $13.66 and if you notice, it is actually Metro Lexus from Ohio) by email @ eParts@MetroLexus.com and told them this and Gary Schremm (the person dealing with internet sales) honored the match request.

So in the end, each piece cost $11.90 x 2 = $23.80 + Free Shipping (2-3 business days.)

Enjoy!

***EDIT!!!***

Ok so when I bought this, this site ( http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=214592 ) had it for $11.90 but now its $13.97.

I found another site selling for $11.64 @ http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...83&catalogid=0 (again type in part number and you will see part listed as $11.64.....also when it asks for MAKE select toyota NOT lexus cause it will be cheaper even though its the same part)

So with this new website, it will be $11.64. Contact eParts@MetroLexus.com to try to honor the price match so that it will be $11.64 x 2 = $23.28 + Free Shipping
