Default Headlight protectors

Good day fellow GSers,
Does anyone happen to have the part number for the '12 headlight protectors? For some reason mine didn't come with any. Using google I can't find anything, not even on Lexuspartsnow who are my encyclopedia of Lexus parts. There's plenty for the 3GS but not the 4.

I know the internals of mine are different to most of yours but they should be the same on the outside.
Thanks!

The 4GS started selling on the 26th of January 2012 and was facelifted in 2014.

Same here, it protects them well and you can't even see it.

There was no 2012 MY GS. Lexus went straight from 2011 to 2013 MY. Does the car in question have quad headlights or see the the two rectangular shaped housings? Either way a shop that does Paint Protection film aka Xpel Ultimate should be able to cut some out and do a professional install for about $100 bucks.

Yes I was hoping someone could point me to the correct part no, it's almost like headlight protectors don't exist for the 4GS! This is what I had on my last car as an example https://www.ebay.com.au/i/231989840561?chn=ps

I understand the 2012 wasn't available in the US, it's their largest market but Lexus export cars to 70 countries. See here https://www.redbook.com.au/cars/deta...OT-ITM-308455/

Thanks all for the suggestions, I may look into the film if i can't come up with proper covers.

Edit: I have the standard AFS single HID headlight

The GS never came with headlight protectors in the US and yes the GS was out in 2012 in other countries before the US market. I would suggest like others you get Xpel it would protect your headlights perfectly and won't create a haze effect.
