2005 LS430 Nav ECU stolen & headlight question

[ams25]

I have an 05 LS430 with factory navigation. The nav ecu (the part that looks like a dvd player) which sits in the right rear of the truck was stolen from the car. For many reasons, I do not want to put in an insurance claim. On the other hand, Lexus wants 4,200 for this little nothing part #86841-50090. Does anyone know of a place that sells used ones, reconditioned ones? Does anyone know if the units for other models will work too? I was offered used ones from RX330 and a GS430 model number 86841-330?? Will these work? They seem to have the same plug configuration and I can buy them for $200 (big difference).

Also, does anyone know where I can get two headlights (just the housings, I dont need bulbs, computer, ballasts or anything) for 04, 05, 06 LS430 with reasonable asking price?

The reason your nav ECU is so expensive is because you don't have a core to return. We are required to return all exchange units or we get charged the price for a new one.
