Default New headlight lenses for 04-06

Does anyone know the oem part number on the headlight lens kit with seals/gaskets?

I'm also interested in a part number.

I know a guy who can get them for $300 if I remember correctly, but he orders them from Japan and that takes forever!

I've had several cars with plastic lenses professionally polished out. Its just OK. Nothing compares to new.

I've been debating on purchasing that same item on YAJ lol. I'm gonna reach out to some Japanese contacts and see what the OEM part number is, and if theres a USDM equivalent.

I dont know the part number but I bought new ones as per the picture in this thread from a supplier in Japan. I had to use a japanese buying service because the company that had them will not talk to, or ship to, any other country other than Japan!
I got around this by going through a japanese buying service and they bought them for me on my behalf then shipped them to me in my country - Australia. Too easy !
Currency conversion for the Australian dollar wasnt that good at the time and I think it cost me about $350 -$400 AUD all up after everything. (the buying service takes a small percentage) For me it was totally worth it because lexus parts over here are very expensive and I now have nice new OEM lenses without buying new headlights (i couldnt polish one of the old originals either as it was badly pitted in a few places that polishing wont remove)

I didn't know you could just buy the plastic part of the lens, I thought it was an entire assembly.

Those restore kits can do wonders, this was my before and after with the Sylvania kit, it's around $20. Might be worth a shot before you drop a lot of money.

Please let me know which company is that - in PM if you like.
The pictures that are attached are from yahoo auction that I was looking at earlier, they are priced significantly higher there. I'd buy a $240 set right away...

This company only deals within Japan, so you would have to use a 3rd party to get it and ship it to you.

Yes it is sealed. You would have to remove the old seal and then reassemble it with the supplied seals.

Thanks for the reply!
I will try to order those.

Now that I'm looking at these, is there any way to tell if 25800 yen is for one or two lenses?
