Default Headlight Help

Hello,

I have a 2004 Lexus ES 330 . I have a burnt out HID, also, the headlight assembly's are "foggy" or turning yellow.. I tried cleaning them up, but it just doesn't look good as new..

I'd like to order new headlight assembly's , AND new HID's for the left and right..

I'm having a very hard time finding the headlight assembly, all of them are advertised as "non-hid" online ..

The HID bulbs I believe I can find. I believe the part number is 90981-20001

Can anyone help me find the correct headlight assembly, weather it's with the HID, or without, but made for HIDs I don't care at this point.

I'm mainly looking for the part # and / or a good trusted website ..

Just wondering how you tried cleaning them. Did you wet sand or polish with a clear plastic cleaner?

I bought a headlight cleaning kit, that was recommended by a few people on this site, about a year ago. It did make it look about 50% better.. But I just want this car to look as good as possible ...

I'm not really sure I'd be any good at wet sanding . .. The dealership said they could have them looking good as new for $90 .. but I'm not too sure ...

Are you recommending I clean them myself ? and if so, what is the best ? wet sand ?

Is that what the dealership would be doing as well for that $90 ?

You can do an interweb search for some. [As I'm doing the same thing for my '96 es] Prices will vary, but expect to pay upwards of $275+.

You can also buy from salvage yards if they have any.
