Default Who has bought the 2011-2012 headlights?

I've seen them in person and wow these are amazing headlights. I don't know if I could sacrifice spending $1k++++ on them though. If these were $650-800 I'd buy them ASAP.

Don't buy these headlamps now as the updated, 2012 TSB headlamps have the same bubbling flaw as the 2011 lights. Wait until Lexus acknowledges the problem and fixes the headlamps before buying them.

There's a whole separate thread on this issue.

Lmao fellas I wish my company could make some cheaper version of these that are quality. Maybe 550 to 650 would be the sweet spot to make a nice after market pair for the consumers. Can't be to cheesy like the Honda versions or IMO I would just skip it. I think the main reason aftermarket companies stay away from making headlights for Lexus is most of them that were sold high afs and self leveling features and only a small few are willing to give up both features for a after market pair of lights.. Cost to much money to make hardware in the lights to work with the self leveling feature let alone the afs. Very few Lexus after 2006 just have halogen only lights. I would just do the standard mods like rims, kit, etc and get the lights last if you come across a Sewell sale or good deal in the classifieds
Nsgxlex awesome looking ride
