Default Tinted Headlamps

I bought the car with tinted headlamps & it's not the removable type. The tint is literally embedded in the plastic. Does anyone know if I can purchase just the lense cover for the headlamps? If so can someone send the link.

Smoked headlights.
I dont think you can get just the lens. The headlights are sold as a complete unit. You might find some on eBay.

I've seen these headlight lenses on ebay for about $100 per set. Also on Amazon. Get ones that come with the seal. They not going to be as good as OEM, but I don't think you can buy them from Lexus. I've pulled lenses from these headlights before and it is not a big deal. You need some decent heat gun, few plastic wedges and patience.

@ BB9
I'm just afraid I'll screw it up. I've never done this before.

If you have no mechanical skills, I would buy some used ones and have local body shop installed them.

If you want to learn, here's a helpful link. same applies even for the prior facelift.

Very likely that its NOT embedded into the headlamp lens (despite very fine porous plastic). At this point, use some kind of lacquer in a small area, it should come off. Those are usually spray tinted on.
