Default My wife wants new HID headlight housings

I've searched, but nothing comes up other than the full headlight housing, with HID bulbs.

Her 2002 has OEM HIDs, which are fine, but they've gotten slightly foggy over time. I've polished them a couple of times, and will do it again, soon, but I think she really wants new 'eyes' for Princess.

Has anyone found just the HID housings? New, of course. I mean, hers aren't bad for a 2002 which spent some time in Vegas, but I don't want a set which are likely worse (used).

Thanks!

At least they don't get water in them like the HID housings on my 2005 Cadillac STS.

Had to pull the housings, dry the innards with a hair dryer, then re-seal the lens/housing joint with clear silicone sealant.

/facepalm

Oh, and to remove the headlights on that beast, you have to remove the bumper cover.

What do you mean when you write, "just" the HID housing? You can only buy the headlights themselves. The internals do not separate from the front lens and rear casing.

Parts.com is the best place (in terms of price) to buy NEW OEM parts directly from Lexus.
