Missing piece under headlight

On my way out the door this morning, I noticed that the piece under my headlight was just missing. No clue what happened to it, but I need to replace it, fast. Any ideas where to get one?

What it's supposed to look like...



What the other side looks like...

 

i bet someone stole it, if you look how they are mounted they need tools to get off

 

Yeah, it seems like you could just pop it off with a screwdriver. Is there a site that sells replacement body panels or anything like that?

 

I would try a scrap yard. With all the recalled trucks, scrap yards are buying them from toyota. There are about 7 at one of the scrap yards here in Thunder Bay, ON. I snagged this same piece off one for my '96.

 

When I was looking to buy one of these trucks ,the '01-'04 style, I found that a decent amount had these pieces missing so I asked around on the forums about this and people informed me that that it can be a common occurance for these to 'pop off'. I've heard that some people have zip tied them on from the back for extra security to keep them in place.

I also learned that if you buy them new from Toyota, they only come in primer so you will have to paint them the color of your truck to match.

 

Oh okay, that's good to know, I kind of felt invaded there for a bit.

 

Mine lost the driverside also and you can get them on eBay I'm pretty sure they're like 30 for the both of them

 

I found these on ebay, but they are black.

They are called Headlight fillers, btw. I had to order one for my truck when I first bought it.

 

Mine has popped out once when I slammed the hood. I'd just go internet and save the hassle of picking through junk yards.

You're not gonna find any that are already painted unless they're from a junk yard or someone else's truck.
