Default Place to buy new oem headlights?

I've taken apart and sealed my headlights 3 times now and they get moisture in them instantly, so i give up. Is there anywhere to buy new ones? I know carson used to sell a new set for $600 which isn't bad.

Maybe Sewell. I thought they were more expensive than that though.

EDIT: Strange, I only see high beam assemblies. No low beam anymore so far.

Not sure, but I bought brand new fogs from lexuspartsnow.com, they might have headlights too. Or parts.com maybe.

Found this on Sewell lexus. The regular price is expensive, but if you log in with your club lexus linked account it should go down to about 340. Assuming I'm looking at the right part number. Take a look for yourself.

Best prices on OEM parts I have found. They don't rip you off on shipping like so many dealers do by charging a flat 10% and not using actual shipping costs.

Run your part numbers and see.

No matter where you get them, without proper exposure, the gaskest will be dried out and allow condensation in. Even the newest part is gonna be at least 10 years old.
