Headlights suggestions

[quatin]

Does anyone have suggestions on where to get headlights?

My headlights are looking pretty dull on the inside. I tried ordering cheap headlight assemblies from autolightbulbs.com ($70 total) and the thing arrived in pieces. I checked out the assembly and it's no wonder the thing fell apart during shipping, it's glued together!

The OEM headlights are $380 and I find some stuff at $200, but after this past online ordering fiasco, I'd rather get it local or with heavy recommendations. I thought about baking the lamp and removing the lens cover to clean it, but I'd hate to break it and not have running lights.

Junkyard or brand new from the dealership. I would stay away from aftermarket headlights (Eagle Eyes, etc.)

The first thing I replaced on my Runner when I got it were the headlights -I got the 99+lights - one light had its housing pushed in/busted a little so I went to Certifit.com which were the cheapest I found online that looked good. Luckily one of theyre warehouses are located near me and I went in person to check them out, all glass built nice for $37 each, not bad at all and they have held up all this time, I drive a lot on highways and a good deal on the beach surf fishing(I live 2 blocks from the ocean and no moisture has gotten into the assembly/lenses)

You could pay a lot more at the stealership and I'm sure they are awesome but I put my money elsewhere. You can check out my album, they are one of the few pics I took of the truck so far.

For $37, we might have ordered the same thing. The adjustment screw stopper was glued on. Is yours like that as well?

I ordered a set of after-market non-Toyota headlights from EBAY. They came with glass front lens and looked amazing. I wanted the clear lens look of the 99-01s.

If you do this you really will want to only swap the glass out but keep the original housings. It is really really easy. just bake to 200 F and then pry apart with something, don't break the glass.

i made the mistake of tossing out the old assemblies entirely. now my beam pattern is totally F-d.
