Well that sucks..

Not even sure why it broke..

 

Time to upgrade.

 

Time for a new headlight?

 

And for the love of god get two. I got home from a deployment and my wife had a fender bender in a parking lot she thought I would not find out about. About 50 feet from her car I ask when she wrecked the car. She said "WHAT, how did you know?". I said well had you had them replace both headlights I wouldn't.

If you are looking for close to factory for a good price I have had great luck with TYC as a brand. If you get anything other than OEM make sure you seal the seam between the bucket and lens with clear silicone.

 

Any front end mods?

 

My money is on a fat chick got winded carrying her Twinkie's out of WM and had to take a moment to rest. Sitting on this poor Taco and causing damage. Happens all the time. Every time I see a fat chick I think "yep, broken headlight!"

 

Happened to me many times already..... those thing are so easy to break dont know why they are such thin snap plastic. Time for morimoto xb’s or new trd pro lights or...... duck tape

 

You could try one of those plastic welding kits. Pretty much melting plastic back together with a soldering iron. But I would try and reinforce with some mesh and epoxy if you go that route.

 

That's a clean break. You sure you don't have scuff marks on the lens where someone nudged it in a parking lot?

 

DUDE, fat chicks are soft. They never leave a mark.

 

Touche........

 

JB weld it or PM me and buy my stock headlights that I currently have for sale.

 

Then check for perspiration....

 

Had your truck serviced at the dealership lately? My local dealer crashed my 4Runner into the wall and didn’t tell me. I discovered it during my typical post service inspection before paying. The dealer paid to repaint my bumper but I bet they were counting on me not seeing it and then just blaming myself when I noticed it a month or two later.

 

Wow thats ballsy of them lol. Sounds like a few good oil changes to me on top of that paint job

 

JB Weld

 

Yep. I didn’t pay for that service. They also tried to talk me into accepting touch up paint as a fix. No way. Ironically, they took pre-service pics because “customers keep blaming them for damage.” Glad they did. The bummer is that I really want to trust that service department because they are my local dealer.

 

I slipped in the snow and fell up against the headlight. Same damage.
Headlight is expensive to replace. I tried plastic weld and it didn't hold so I put a thin piece of metal under the break and bolted it together. I have no plans to sell the truck anytime soon so Ill watch the swap meets and junk yards for one to eventually pop up. I think it was like $400 for a new assembly.

 

That was probably the lot boy not wanting to tell his manager

 

Yeah I have broke a tab like that before too. I fixed it by drilling small holes, lacing wire through them and then a thin layer of fiberglass mat. My wife said I spent over $500 in labor and should've just bought the light.
