Help Finding Headlights

[ediko]

Alright guys I'm completely at a loss now. This is probably the last cry for help before I decide to buy those illegal dectane headlights.

I've had a bad frontal crash with my is200 and since I loved the car too much I couldn't let it go. Now I'm not from UK (did live there for a year though) and getting spare parts for the car is a nightmare. I ordered most of the exterior from UK and it is being shipped here as I type this, however the headlights.....I have a feeling these simply do not exist. It is possible to get RHD ones, for a unreasonably high price considering you won't pass the MOT with them. Getting LHD ones seems simply impossible, eBay is empty or offers 1 left headlight from 1999 for 150 pounds.

Could any of you recommend something? Please I'm just about to give up but I already spent way too much money on the other parts. I tried searching in German sites to no avail. Local dealers have nothing at all. Maybe there are some cheap Chinese knock-offs anywhere? I need something. The only option I have now is to put those ugly dectane lights on it and borrow someone elses originals for the MOT.

Hello and welcome to the LOC.

Seems strange the LHD headlights are not available, I managed to get one for my 1994 JDM LS400 brand new from Toyota Japan.

If you can post your model year and version I will search the Toyota database for you.

Edit.

Based on the IS200 1999-2005 GXE10L-AEFVKW model the head lights are showing as available but costing around 350.00 Euro each.

RH Part no. 81110-53020

LH Part no. 81170-53020

Which country are you based in?

Please do. It's the 1999 is200 sport. I did manage to find the original ones, by the asked about 400 pounds for them.

Thanks in advance!

Edit after your edit.

Latvia and all I can say is ******.... 350 each? Who needs headlights anyway, I'll just drive when it's daylight.... :(

I didn't know dectane were illegal ??

I've actually seen these fitted to an IS here in the UK.

Why are they illegal?

They make your Lexus look like an Audi however with those stupid DRL fairy lights.....They should be illegal just for that!
