Default Cost to replace headlight housings?
The GS350 I'm looking at has some severely scratched headlights. Buffing them wont take them out. Any idea on the cost to replace both headlight housings? They don't look cheap...

you can find headlights for around 300-400 per light. they are however a pita to replace as you need to remove the front bumper.

Ebay is a great source and very cheap. new ones are around 1000-1300 a piece.

FWIW, I had a bulb out and the dealership (under warranty) said both housings would have to be replaced (cost would have been about $800/pair).
