Can LS430 Headlight Cover be bought by itself?
Hello! This is my first posting to the forum. On my 2004 Lexus LS430, the plastic headlight cover on the passenger side is badly cracked. The lights still work perfectly. Does anyone know if it's possible to just replace the plastic cover or do you have to purchase the very expensive assembly? I have been unable to located the cover. Thanks for your help!
No you just have to seal it back correctly. There is a whole world of people who retrofit headlights from all makes and models out there. I've done a couple sets myself and my first set on the GS300 weren't sealed correctly. Took me a second time to seal those right. Truthfully there is no sense in buying a new set of headlights if you only need the covers. If you aren't confident sealing these you can source someone here who might help or find someone from hidplanet or theretrofitsource. I was going to buy these but I'm actually waiting for a certain retrofit set to pop up.

Look for one there. You can absolutely replace the lens but if you do not care to mess with that and want to just get a good part in a box at your door and spend under 30 minutes on the repair then OEM ready to go no issues is the way to go.

OP basically you have options it just comes down to what you are willing to do and spend to not do. Either way you're still rolling the best car on the road to date so everything else is minimal lol.

^^^^ this is true... they are used but all you need is Nissan butyl and the ability to know how to use it. I'd say 80% of anything you buy from a middle man source will be used but in near new condition. $800 per headlight complete and used vs. $250 for near new covers to replace your non recoverable set... if money wasn't an issue than I guess your headlights wouldn't have gone so far to begin with. If you have a set between the knees and don't mind trying it's a no brainer. Either cough up $80-120 for a shop to cut, polish, and clear your current; do something dumb like buying 2 new assemblies; or grab a beer and knock it out yourself.
lol and that's what I get for drinking and posting

i know this is an old post, but does anyone have any recent information about purchasing the headlight lenses ?
I found these pictures, which gives hope to the idea that they are available, but I have not been able to find any part numbers.
