Default Headlight assembly upgrade options

I have a 2011 RX350 with HID headlight assemblies and am having trouble finding options for replacing mine. I'm not looking to get oem ones that cost $$$ and I am not looking to restore mine. Please help!

What is wrong with your old assemblies?

They are 15 years old, look worn and have a lot of stress cracks.

You can buy aftermarket HID headlights off Ebay for your RX350 at a reasonably price.

Several options, replace the current assembly lenses with new lenses from NAPA, Amazon etc, several youtube videos about how to bake off the old lenses and install new lenses and what type of glue to use etc.
Another option is to get a replacement halogen assembly set and just use halogen instead of hid; RockAuto has several.

Thanks for the replies. I should have been more detailed and said i was looking for hid assemblies that are a different style than oem. I am also not looking to do any work other than removing the old ones, putting the new ones in, and making the necessary adjustments. I'm doing quite a bit of other repairs, maintenance, and mods on this Lexus and my 2004 Lexus GX470. 😆 I may just end up getting the aftermarket ones that are oem style if I cannot find anything else thats hid and works with afs
