    anyone know if it's possible to swap out the backing on the headlights? Or to repair. The mounting brackets on my lamps snapped.

    i found the whole light fixture on carparts.com for $28 a piece. Not sure how good they are but dealer wants $300 each.

    Are you referring the the plastic bucket? (The entire back half of the headlight)
    I wasn't aware this was a part sold by itself. Do you have a picture or part number you are trying to replace?

    I had the same issue and when researching for the part, I could not find it to be sold separately. I found the entire assembly with the bulb for cheap so I just ended up replacing the entire unit (see below picks). I don't know how good these are as they were under $30 each for entire unit (see pic). but they are warranted for 1 year and they are much better than what I have now (yellowed out/dull lenses which no matter how well I buff, the yellowing comes back in a few months).

    The only bummer was that I had to fiddle with the adjustments (2 screws) on back to get the light beams to focus straight ahead and even, as they don't come pre-adjusted.
