Headlight Replacement
I have an 08 GS460 and I love it. My only issue is that the headlights are yellowed and show a trillion micro cracks. The headlights themselves are fine, I just want to replace the exterior part.
Is this possible? Can you buy just the external plastic or do you have to buy the entire assembly?

I wish I can buy them too, unfortunately, you cant. what you have to do is to buy a headlight restoration kit where you will have to sand the transparent cover and coat it. it will then look as good as new. however expect to repeat this every 1-2 years. another option to head to a car detailing shop and he can do it for you for 40-50$

Always wanted to have these in the GS.

Those look awesome, I wonder what the quality is like. Do you know anyone that has them?

Someone on the forum has them. He hasn't had any issues with them.

I cleared it up best I could anyway, so it at least looks better than the yellow haze, but OP will need new headlights either way.

EDIT: Just found out that these DO NOT have the adaptive headlight compatibility. That's a deal breaker for me if they cannot retain that factory setting.
