Default 2005 RX330 Drivers Headlight Plastic Lens Replacement

Hi, I have a cracked Driver's side HL lens on my RX330, does anyone know how to replace it?
The RX is Canadian made and has HID w/AFS headlights, I do Not want to replace the Headlight Assembly! and I'm Not interested in aftermarket Headlights.
Thanks for Any Help with this🤞

They make new aftermarket plastic lenses that you can put over the old ones. Take all the rubber bits and mounting screws / bulbs off the headlights and put them in the oven to soften the butyl seal (about 20 mins at 220 deg), then the plastic cover can be carefully pryed off with a plastic trim tool. It may be more cheaper to just get the cheapest aftermarket 2004-2009 headlights and use the lenses from them as well but retain the old housings. This worked really well on my 2002 Highlander as I was fed up with cheap, unreliable aftermarket headlight housings. Good luck!

Thank You, I Appreciate the Info, it sounds like a lengthy process.
I'll have to think about it some!
A Used HL with HID and AFS for my car is High $$$, $600 or so!
