Looking for HID headlight assembly replacement
Like many here, my headlights suffered from the dreaded condensation problem. I brought them to Lexus after getting the warranty enhancement paperwork and had them replaced. Shortly after the passenger side wheel cover was ripped off after getting caught on some ice during a storm. It was very shortly after that that condensation begin appearing in my passenger side headlight. At that point I was unaware that the wheel well cover had been ripped off. I brought it back to Lexus to have it looked at since I only had the headlight replaced a few weeks before. I was told it would be at a cost of $2,500 to replace with an additional $400 for the wheel well cover. Needless to say, I did not have the work done that day. While I was waiting them for them to finish the paperwork I bought the wheel well cover for $50 online but since then I've had difficulty locating the headlight. I brought it to my mechanic and he was unable to find the headlight as well. I have a 2009 rx350 with HID AFS headlights. I have looked on ebay, Amazon and just through the internet to see what I could find but I'm finding only halogen headlights. Most of what I'm seeing on eBay are for non-adaptive lights that are damaged. I've looked through the threads but haven't seen any information. Anyone aware of where I can purchase this type of headlight?

I'm no pro, but it looks pretty damaged to me. At this point I would rather buy an entire assembly rather than take off the bumper to replace everything rather than not have it work. The light is very wet and there appears to be sand or other debris inside. I have been surprised how difficult it has been to locate another light to purchase. I've been trying to find one from even from salvage but I have to assume that many people already took them prior to the warranty enhancement for the headlight.
