Headlight cover replacement

[Cornish Moose]

Hi folks, looking for some advice.

A couple of days ago my headlight was struck by some debris on the motorway kindly thrown up by the car in front of me and the headlight cover has broken as you can see in the image. I was wondering if it was possible to just replace the cover, as the headlight itself is working fine and I don't want to have to replace the whole unit given some of the prices I saw with my quick google search! If it is replaceable and someone could point me towards a good source of a new cover, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hello Jacj,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

Hello jack sorry it’s a whole headlamp as the unit is sealed

As said whole headlight, eBay is best, e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146302066269

They are expensive new, but you might find a cheaper one by asking one of the Jap Importers?

Failing that, there are several Japanese/TOYOTA spares companies, other than using main dealers.

And you could also do a search for breakers, though my sole experience was someone who wanted to charge the same price for a second hand bit as a new part from Japan.

Good afternoon, I am looking for replacement headlamp units due to an advisory on my MOT.  my vehicle is 2006 and  it's age decolourisation.

 

Thanks for the info that you need to replace the whole unit.  I'm reluctant to use ebay as the units advertised there may well be similarly discoloured.

 

Have any of you used a reliable Toyota dealer in Scotland?

 

Thanks and regards Graham

Thanks for that Lee.  I have heard of that. Calders Campers have already done this process before we bought the campervan from them.

 

Can the process be done more than once?

 

Cheers Graham

Thanks Lee, that's very helpful.

 

Kind regards Graham
