Toyota using Taiwan parts?

I’m trying to sell headlights out of my truck… never been in an accident and I am the original owner. Why does it have these headlights in it instead of Toyota? Bought in 2019 model year 2019

 

May have been transit or lot damage fixed by the dealer. They have no obligation to report such repairs.

 

Did your wife / kid ever drive it for a few days and you didn't know?

 

My cousin used the unplug the speedo cable, drive 50 miles to see his GF, drive back home and plug it in. My uncle used to lose his shit about how quickly his "expensive" michelin tires were wearing, and called them a few times to yell at them. 10 years later he spilled the beans

 

Depo makes replacement lights for A LOT of vehicles, not sure why those would be on there

 

Dealer probably gave her some bruises. Both lights the same?

 

Brilliant

 

Yes both lights are the same that’s so weird

 

Oh well I’m hoping I can sell them I don’t have any use for them anymore I was only going to ask a couple hundred bucks for them what do you guys think these are worth?

 

Google the 312- number, I think those particular ones are 4 or 5 hundred each new

 

My guess would be transit or lot damage, before it was titled. If OEM wasn’t available in a timely fashion, they could have used those to get the truck sold. Thats still a bit odd especially for a brand new truck.

 

I'd be concerned about the bumper and the rest of the front end. Either the dealer crashed the truck, or someone at the dealer wanted oem lights and stole yours.

 

It might be worth your while to ask the dealer where you bought it from, why it has aftermarket parts in it. Probably won't get you far, but it could be fun to hear their excuses.

All the same, if they're in decent condition, I don't think a couple hundred is out of line. Maybe ask $300, but be ready to take less. Unfortunately, with the advent of OEM LED's, there's not much demand for the halogen projectors.

 

Could of been something as simple as a cracked headlight mounting tab that got them replaced.

 

Yeah I checked online and they are like 450 a piece I was gonna put them up for 250 and hope for the best thank you guys for the knowledge and advice as always. On another note I’m pretty sure I have well over 50 posts but for some reason I’m not allowed to post in the for sale section do you guys have any suggestions?

 

I ran into the same issue when I tried to sell my first item. I think posting in certain forums (new members) doesn't count towards the min 50 requirement. Stick around, be chatty and enjoy. We'll see ya around.

 

Here’s some info on CAPA parts.

Where else have you serviced your truck and had to leave it for a few days or so?

 

I haven’t ever left it anywhere for more than an hour at the dealership for regular maintenance it’s only 20k miles but I switched these headlights out for OEM LED just trying to sell them I found it weird they weren’t Toyota

 

They should have at least replaced them with OEM headlamps.
