    Deer collision broke off all 3 plastic mounting brackets on the passenger side headlight assembly. Ordered replacement assembly from partsgeek.com. Wrong part. Sent them an e-mail asking for help to ensure I got the correct part. They found a different part # and sent it to me. Wrong part....I think. Check out photos and see if I'm missing something.

    Has anybody successfully replaced this part before, and if so, where'd you get it? Part #? Really don't want to get it from the dealer. Thanks.

    I would say it is an exercise in futility to purchase model-unique parts like the headlight assembly from a source that does not specialize in the sale of Toyota parts.

    If you don't wish to purchase the part from your local Toyota dealer, there are a number of dealers who sell parts at 25% discount via the web, for example:
    Champion ToyotaWorld

    Patrick,

    Appreciate the advice and link. Called them up and they found the right part using the VIN.


    Thanks,

    Rick
