Default Headlight ballasts

So both of my low beam headlight stopped working couple days ago, and I took it to the shop. The guys there said that both of ballasts aren't working, somehow they could not order these parts individually from the dealer.

Do you guys have any ideas where I can get these ballast replaced and how much it should cost me?

Thanks for the help!

Did you ever try switching the Bulbs around first before spending all that money

Yeah, the bulbs are working fine. They put in new bulbs and it still doesn't light up.

Both went out at the same time? It does not sound like a ballast issue to me. I would check the fuses.

highly doubt its the ballast and yes lexus charges you for a new headlight instead of just a ballast. they are replaceable though. im pretty sure its just your headlight bulbs though
