Where to find Headlight assy for 90 corolla SR5

Hi guys, Im new to the forum!

I come here because I just got into a fender bender with my 90 corolla SR5 and I can't seem to find a new headlight assembly for it anywhere. No junkyards have them and none of the ones on ebay look like they are for the pop-up lights like what I have. Also, the bulb and glass lens all seem to be one piece. Does this mean its a halogen light? If anyone has a car that they are parting out, or can point me in the direction of where to get one, that would be amazing.

o, I could use a fender and the light under the headlight, but I'm pretty sure I can find those on my own.

Thanks.

Im familiar with those online slavage yard searches, but I gotta believe I can find the parts without paying. But heck, post the link. if I can't find them in a month or two, I'll give it a shot.

Anyone else?

Hey there,
I'm new to the forum too. I own an '89 SR5 with 147k miles that's in pristine condition.

The actual headlights (Bulb+Glass) themselves are cheap and easy to buy. It is a 1-piece halogen light assembly (basically a huge light bulb with a power outlet in back that plugs into the car) that costs about $12 off the shelf from Walmart. It takes 5 minutes to replace and the only tool you need's a screwdriver. I forget the model number of the bulb. It's a common bulb and the model # was like 6054 or something.

The light under the headlight has some little bulbs inside that are about $1 each at Walmart. The lens cover is model # 81621-12380 and lists for about $52 at the dealership per an old parts guide I have. These sometimes sell on Ebay. Be aware that you can buy parts for about 20-30% off list price online at various Toyota dealerships. Most recently I bought from Mossy Toyta in San Diego and Texas Toyota in Grapevine, TX.
The actual headlamp comes in multiple pieces. Unfortunately I see that there's a "bracket, retracting" that lists for $248 and the motor lists for $281. So, sounds like your best bet is to find parts at an online junkyard.

Hope this helps,
John

Hey, im not sure sure if you found one, but if you really have trouble finding one i can get you one from a junkyard for you and ship it out... if you need driver side it will be easier, i know of a few semi-complete cars i can pick the whole assembly off for you for around 100$CDN. but i have to wait till it warms up a bit here...
emial me if you want...
