Need to replace the lower front light lens on wifes '13 model. Not sure of best place for parts or how to find part #. We have a toyota dealership in town. Pic attached below:

Thanks, Nelson

If you don't mind a used part here is one on eBay and a lot cheaper than new... ~$44 versus $160+ new

PN: 81220-0W050

New one here around $160

Acrad - thank you very much. What method did you use to look this up?
Thanks, Nelson

Just a simple search on eBay for a GX 460 fog light... fortunately ad had part number in listing and then a general part number search online. This usually finds the part at all the Lexus parts sites.

Or as an example most of the part sites have online schematics.

Were you planning on replacing yourself? If so, it looks to me that going in access hole underneath in front of front tire might be easiest. Maybe put front up on something like a Rhino Ramps. I have topside plastic shield off and that appears to be a harder access point to swap these. I think there are like 3 nuts that retain the assembly.

Yes, I plan doing it myself. Had an 80 series TLC, used to doing what I can.

If I were you, I would spend the money and switch over to LED fogs. The Retrofit Source (Morimoto) makes a set of LED projector fogs that replace the OE housing. They are $170, but carry a 10-year warranty. The company is based in Atlanta, and you can call them if you have any questions or if anything breaks. They are good guys that really know their stuff. I strongly recommend them.

If those truly are plug and play I'd be game... assuming light pattern is good. I do notice the stock halogen fogs do offer up useable light.

I do remember seeing that at some point in time. These are slightly different, in that these are designed to be plug and play, but it's the same idea.

Thanks for the suggestion. Since it is my wifes, it will not matter to her. She just wants it replaced.
