Where to buy headlight lens
I've searched without success. Here's why I want just the lens. I was in the process of baking my headlights in order to close them, and apparently, the lens rolled over and made contact with the oven grill, creating 2 small, straight indentations on my left headlight lens. The rest of the headlight is completely fine and honestly, it's barely noticeable but I'd like to see how much a replacement lens cost, since it's just plastic.

You will have to call Toyota on that one. They usually will sell just the lense but it's sadly going to be a ridiculous price. I'm a tech at a Toyota dealership and people always shit bricks when they are told the pricing on headlights/brake lights. And what's weird is the price for a complete replacement headlight with bulbs included at times is only a few dollars off the price of just the lense.

It will definitely be a ridiculous price, and it will probably come with a free reflector housing attached

So, the whole assembly is $421 and the lens is $436. I guess they charge you for the entire thing, and for the labor of splitting them open and giving you the lens. Ended up buying one for $200 @ ebay.

Judging from the number of crashed twins there might be some available used headlights at a significant discount.

Regarding the jdm leveling, you don't necessarily need the leveling module. If the lights don't receive a signal, they default to "0". So unless you plan on putting some heavy stuff in the back, you'll probably be fine.
Regarding the headlights, $465? For one housing? Maybe I should put mine up for sale (currently using the jdm housings) |
