What's the cheapest place to get genuine Toyota/Lexus AHC globes?

[Obioban]

The range of prices on these things is absurd. $50-800 each, all claiming to be genuine Toyota parts.

Admittedly the cheap end of that spectrum is Amazon, and I just assume everything sold there to be a knock off.

But, what's the best place to buy a set that confidently actually is OE Toyota/Lexus?

The go to place is impex Japan. Not sure how tariffs might be impacting the price though.

... is there a difference between the Lexus and Toyota part here? Same part number..... but different weight and price?

There is a difference between front and back, but Lexus and Toyota are the same. Just Lexus is a few $ more for some reason. I have an LX and got the Toyota parts.

The shipping comes out close to 80-100ish I think. Again not sure what tariffs add to that price.

I just placed an order with Impex. Looks like 15% is the tarrif.

Perfect. I'll do the same.

Thanks!

Please update this when you get the bill. I’ve been reading all sorts of brokerage fees these carriers are charging and that’s what has been keeping me from going through impex.

I’ve seen some on eBay that are selling for $230 when i asked they were at least honest about it and said they’re aftermarket. There is one seller that’s selling what they’re saying is oem for $779 which is in line with what it would cost if you ordered from impex+shipping

I ordered wheel bearings and associated parts, so even with shipping and tarrifs Impex was still significantly cheaper.

I’ll let you know what the tarrifs final bill is.
