Default Where to buy 2011-2013 OEM headlights?

I have surfed the web with no luck. Does anybody know where I can purchase OEM 2011-2013 IS250/IS350 headlights online for a reasonable/cheap price?

Ebay. Some dealers sell on eBay, or just get a legit used set. Options are limited since sewell closed. Maybe you could ask your dealer for a unloaded set and see if he could give you a discount if you tell him he will be famous on Clublexus and that he will receive more orders

This will be the most likely route to go, I've seen a few pop up every now and again as I've been on the fence about it for a while now. I PM'd Sewell on here to see if they still sold them, even though they "closed", they ought to at least sell them like a regular dealer... never did get a response.

Surfed through ebay, and haven't seen any factory ones for reasonable prices. Dumb question - what does an unloaded set mean?

Unloaded means no bulbs, ballast, or any of the covers. It will either need to be swapped from your old headlights or you can purchase all the bulbs and covers but they aren't cheap either.

The best prices on Lexus parts that I have found is houseoflexus.com/Lexus/ they sell at a discount of about 27%. The $1240 headlight is $920.

Can't seem to search for the headlights on the website; do you have a direct link to the part?

http://houseoflexus.com/parts/2012/L...agramCallOut=1

lot of the web sites are difficult to navigate and I will use more than one to find a part. The biggest problem I have yet to figure out is getting a parts diagram. On houseoflexus.com/Lexus/ web site, I used the the part number search. I got the part number from lexuspartsnow.com., but lexuspartsnow.com does not have diagrams. As I type this, I cannot remember where I found the parts diagram.

The 2012 headlights from lexuspartsnow.com are:

81185-53542 Unit Assy, Headlamp, LH
HEADLAMP-DISCHAGE & AFS WITH(AUTO LEVELING)
Location: Driver Side
Production Date: 09/2011-09/2011
GSE21, 26,GSE20, 25.. ATM $991.40 $746.22

81185-53543
Unit Assy, Headlamp, LH
HEADLAMP-DISCHAGE & AFS WITH(AUTO LEVELING)
Location: Driver Side
Production Date: 09/2011-04/2013
GSE21, 26,GSE20, 25.. ATM $1243.68 $936.12

The above are both left side headlamps, but some part is missing from one of them. Here are the listing for the right side.

81145-53543
Unit Assy, Headlamp, RH
HEADLAMP-DISCHAGE & AFS WITH(AUTO LEVELING)
Location: Passenger Side
Production Date: 09/2011-04/2013
GSE21, 26,GSE20, 25.. ATM $1243.68 $936.12

With the part number, you can go on any web site and get their price. I will keep looking for the place that has the parts diagram pictures and get back with that.
