Hi. I have a 2017 highlander and the low beam projector bulb retainer/socket,etc (where the h11 bulb twists in) melted from a hot bulb. Although i can get the bulb to sit on what’s left, I’d like to replace this part if possible without replacing the projector housing or the entire front headlight housing itself. Is the small part replaceable? Do is pop off/scree off? Here is a pic. Thanks!

It's most likely a one piece design like many other Toyota head lights are. Otherwise as far as I know the only other method of replacing it is basically a retrofit which requires cooking your housing in an oven to melt the seal to remove the lens to remove that part of the projector. You might be better off replacing the entire housing, though an aftermarket solution will be cheaper.
