OEM Headlight Assembly Replacement 2013

This weekend I had a moment of stupidity and pulled into a parking pole I couldn't see in front of the truck. I cracked the bumper cover, and among the damage items the most expensive: replacing 1 headlight is 40% of the repar cost. I found 1 on eBay with a small crack in the arm for $120 but the cheapest 100% guaranteed match is $265 from a dealer in FL.

Any suggestions?

Thanks. That's what I had been looking at. Wasn't sure about the tyc working. I saw something on here where someone was complaining bout them.

 

even if you pass on the TYC, im seeing a few oem headlights for under 2 bills

 

The civic I used to have before the tacoma had TYC headlights, they yellowed quickly, leaked, and had poor light pattern. I don't know how the tacoma specific ones are, but based on my experience, I'd cough up for OEM.

 

I may go with an pen that has some clip ding on it or something. Shame there aren't any sharp reasonably priced aftermarket ones available.

 

After a highway incident with a hawk...I grabbed an aftermarket replacement from Amazon. Will post up after it comes in

 

I bought some for CARID ,what ever you buy make sure they are CAPA lights that's what my body man said that the insurance company said to use if not OEM

 

If you get tyc make sure you test it for being water tight.

 

Great feedback from everyone. Thanks for the help. ManMan, looking forward to seeing what happens.

 

Depo or TYC.
Stay away from Spyder.

Get some GE Silicone-II and seal them.

I got an oem light used for $140 on eBay. Of the available options it looked best.

 

Do you need the bumper cover too? East idaho craigslist has a front bumper complete with out fog lights and a bumper off new (2012) tacoma. If you still need one.... He might ship.

 

I do. I'll check on that.
