Want to change the clear lenses on the headlight assemblies, not the whole assembly itself, just the lenses. Does anyone know of a manufacturer who sells just the lenses?


thanks

 

They are complete assemblies. You cannot just change the lens and there is no such thing as a separate lens.
What is wrong with a clear lens that allows for a bright headlight? Most folks just change to a different headlight bulb to get a whiter or bluer light.
There are many used, new OEM and aftermarket headlight assemblies available on eBay and other online auto parts places.

 

Its very likely the lens is hazed up from UV damage. Some manufacturers actually offer the the lens separately for Mercedes and BMW, in which case you may have to bake the headlight assembly open to reseal the lens. I dont know if such options exist for the ES.

 

If your lenses are fogged you need new headlight assemblies as the fogging is due to water infiltration and you thus have a crack or bad seal.
If they are just hazed from age and UV damage you can try one of the many headlight restoration kits available.

 

You can change the lenses, I have done it on my Mercedes and there are whole you tube channels dedicated to doing it on other cars. The lens comes off the assembly, it's only held on by a silicone like sealant. I bought new lenses for my E class Mercedes and changed them out, makes the whole front end look brand new. It is a much nice look than just polishing the head lights.

Once again, if anyone comes across a site with lenses for our cars, I would greatly appreciate if you let me know. Thanks gentlemen.

 

There are none. The people that buy these vehicles do not modify it and thus there isn't much of a market it. Honestly you should just use a headlight restoration kit and get a 2k clear coat spray on them.

 

I have, it's not the same. On my other cars, the new lenses look amazing compared to doing a restore. The problem is the yellowing and isn't only just on the outside, but the inside of the lenses also. And you're wrong about people not doing this, here is website which has multiple diff lens replacements for Lexus.

Thank you for sharing this on the forum. That’s a really cool option for people who want to restore the finish and look of their Lexus headlights. I wonder how good the fit and finish is of these lenses as I know 3rd party lights are not always quite the same as OE.

 

I guess I am missing the reason for this post. If you know of a company that makes these lenses then why ask if anyone knows of a company that makes them. It looks like a viable option so for those who have never considered this here is a supplier who can help. I guess I would have posted that here is a supplier who can provide us with replacement lenses for our cars.

 

I went to the linked site and it has no prices. You have to contact them with your car information and country as they are obviously overseas and their translation to English somewhat lacking.

This looks like the same company linked above but operating under a different name http://www.oemxenonshop.com/Lexus-ES...placement.html

If I recall past explanations in other forums you have to bake your headlight assemblies in the oven to loosen the adhesive that holds the lenses in place. Then clean it up and use some adhesive to install new lenses and hope all goes according to plan.

 

Yes you have to bake them or heat them up, very easy to do actually, and it really makes a difference in the way your car looks. For the sarcastic reply as to me knowing a web site and asking if there is another one, I was asking if anyone knew of any other sites. The one I posted looks like some cheap one in china and I hoped maybe there was a different one. I ordered lenses on amazon for my mercedes E55 and they look like OEM, came out very nice.

 

Thank you for your response. I assume you are still looking for the low cost supplier. Good luck.

 

Just cleared mine up the other day in about 30 minutes, look almost new https://www.meguiars.com/professiona...cut-high-gloss

 

Wish they hadn't used such cheap plastic
