Question Headlamp replacement & Ballast

I own a 2012 Lexus IS250 that runs like I bought it yesterday. I was hit by a 5-gallon bucket on the interstate one day and after repairs months ago have encounter issues with headlight assembly as well the ballast due to water infitration has corroided the contact. I am loooking for a pair to replace the factory installed set headlight assembly as well running lights. If possible the ballast for them as well. Anyone have a sites or know where I can find a pair of headlights as well the ballast for my baby?

I'm assuming you have the headlights with the LED strip? They're not cheap. You can find them used on eBay from anywhere between $300-500 for one side. Ballasts, along with bulbs, may or may not be included. If not, you can buy a generic replacement ballast for $43 from Amazon. From my experience with a cracked headlight, once water gets in, the ballast doesn't survive long so you'll likely be replacing it if the replacement headlight doesn't come with one.

There are generic aftermarket replacements, but they're typically marketed towards the 06-10 crowd. They also typically have terrible light output since they were designed for halogens in mind.
