Default Cheaper source for Courtesy light Clear covers?
http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2006/1916.html

Anyone have a cheaper source? 30 bucks for a clear plastic part seems a little excessive. I've looked on ebay...if it's there I'm just not searching for the right words I guess.

You can try eBay, the CL member classifieds (WTB), your local dealership if you have a parts hookup, or a junkyard. The same lenses are in the ES350 by the way (for the junkyard route).

Compare that price to your local dealer and see if it's cheaper. I got mine from Sewell. It's a Lexus, not a Honda. Gotta pay to play!

Yes yes, I've heard that saying before. Honda parts are probably just as much. 20 dollars each for parts that cost less then 2 dollar to make.....just thought I'd ask

I went to the toyota dealer and they wanted more than Sewell, I ended up buying from Sewell.

BTW, these are the same as the Prius too.

just call your local lexus dealer AND toyota dealer and ask for part #81230-47010 (this part # is for one lens only). I found it cheeper at my lexus dealer cuz i have a 12% off parts card thingy.

"a friend" lol

The sad thing is they never really check the loaner cars. Every loaner I've driven has always been filthy and I found a set of house keys in one of them.
