deer killed my headlight housings....

and now they are like rolling your eyes. Its like nothing is holding them in the grill except the wiring. Been searching with no luck. Cannot figure out what I will need to fix this...or even what Toyota calls its parts. I cannot find a breakdown online for the front body parts.

Header panel or what, its my Mom's car and I don't have it with me to take pics. It is a 91 model.

You probably need two complete headlight assemblies. I don't think you can get the bracket separately. You can find new and used ones for cheap on eBay, etc.

Other body damage (header/nose panel, grill, etc.) would be a secondary thing...

I'm assuming the deer probably didn't fare very well either.
I came way too close to hitting at least one deer the other day, when I finally got to a complete stop two deer were no more than 10 feet in front of me and three more stepped out onto and crossed the road right after I stopped.
I didn't skid but sure did have everything into the brake peddle I could without loosing control. I was cruising about 70 mph at the time but was lucky enough to see one of them peaking out from behind the brush.

We have a lot of deer here and really have to watch for them when the head down to the river early in the morning and evening.

Just be glad you weren't riding a bike ... couple of deaths every year in this neck of the woods.

Yar. I fixed my nose panel by prying on the old headlight assembly. Your best bet, in all honesty, is a set of complete headlight assemblies from the junkyard- Locally, I can get new buckets for $4.99/ea and complete glass headlights in good shape for $20/ea. If you can't source any locally, let me know. I can ship some up to you...

Which reminds me, I need to get those damned headlight rings in the mail. Stupid PO is always closed when I have spare time...
