    So, I baked my headlights too hard and the plastic housing on the back is destroyed. Looking around online and they are expensive as fuck to replace. If anyone has the plastic housing or full assembly, willing to buy them.

    How hot and how long do you bake them?
    eBay has a few used individual headlights for sale.

    Haha this shit happens.. Is why I haven't done the BHLM on my taco. I did it on my Z and melted one. Cost me $250 for a used one on ebay pulled from a wreck. Would have been $700ish for a new one. Lighting mods are a dangerous game. Not saying it can't be done but this shit happens and you gotta be prepared to pay up if you make a mistake.

    Is the clear lens good? Best bet is to find a used one with a scratch/chip/etc and pull it apart for the rear housing.
    That sucks. What temp/how long did you bake it?
