Default Cheaper source for Courtesy light Clear covers?
http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2006/1916.html

Anyone have a cheaper source? 30 bucks for a clear plastic part seems a little excessive. I've looked on ebay...if it's there I'm just not searching for the right words I guess.

You can try eBay, the CL member classifieds (WTB), your local dealership if you have a parts hookup, or a junkyard. The same lenses are in the ES350 by the way (for the junkyard route).

Compare that price to your local dealer and see if it's cheaper. I got mine from Sewell. It's a Lexus, not a Honda. Gotta pay to play!

Yes yes, I've heard that saying before. Honda parts are probably just as much. 20 dollars each for parts that cost less then 2 dollar to make.....just thought I'd ask

I went to the toyota dealer and they wanted more than Sewell, I ended up buying from Sewell.

BTW, these are the same as the Prius too.

just call your local lexus dealer AND toyota dealer and ask for part #81230-47010 (this part # is for one lens only). I found it cheeper at my lexus dealer cuz i have a 12% off parts card thingy.

I noticed the part is also same on 07-present Camry. Plenty of those in the junkyard.

"a friend" lol

The sad thing is they never really check the loaner cars. Every loaner I've driven has always been filthy and I found a set of house keys in one of them.
