Jus deline them. It's hard work but on e open you can make changes as you wish. My middle bulb/stack thingy was dim and ugly, so I took a couple flashlights, cut them and moulded them in the housing with a led bulb, came out decent enough. (My skills suck so a pro can make it look better)

For the price, I'm sure you could source a set of headlights unmolested. Just stalk the classifieds and hit up the SC classifieds on facebook.
lmao i was thinking the same thing.

^^^ Wow those look veryyyy scratched up, are those finished or are you going to keep polishing? I say keep wet sanding with a very light 2500 grit and then fill and buff again. It's almost there.

light projection on these things aren't that great.

you'll have to retro-fit with projectors if you want something better.

you are better off having OEM housing with good bulbs. I run 85W bulbs with a harness and they project very good lightning.

In about two weeks I'll have two pairs of OEM headlights for sale. Hit me up if you're still looking, I know one pair is in immaculate condition because they're on my car right now.

If you don't use HID's with them the only thing to worry about are the LED halos, they don't last too long. HID's don't aim nicely with them, the aiming mechanisms and projector lenses are cheap.

LOL. When I bought my first SC, they guy before me spray painted the headlights black, so I was on the lookout for new headlights (OEM of course). Found a local ad on Craigslist for OEM headlights, perfect condition, nothing wrong except for top clips were broke, for $50. Both left and right.

Look around your local ads, some people don't know the worth of the parts on this car. Skip the aftermarket ones like everyone else is saying, it's a Lexus, not a Honda.
