headlights in glass no longer?

Hello,

i needed to buy new headlights for my supra (we drive on the other side of the road).

my toyota dealer ordered them and when they arrived they were the plastic fantastic ones!! (last time at the same dealer it was glas.)

he then said that he uses the same computer system that have a server in australia and that even uk and all others use it to and what he said then is the bomb.

Toyota dont make the glass ones anymore! is this really true?

first i have ever heard of this. To be honest IMO the facelift jap ones look more modern anyway.

What part no do you have on the box ?

I ordered some about 5 months ago, were glass I asked for the UK spec glass ones tho......so i dunno.

I'm assuming euro part number would be different to UK spec glass headlights? (different side of the road so different beam pattern on the glass?)

My new facelift headlights look absolutely mint, better than glass IMO.

how much did you gets yours for cheeky? (Facelift lights)

385 delivered from our very own Nic. Although I did order a lot of other stuff at the same time so you'd have to check if the same price applies.

Cheers

I did think that price was a bit cheap

Thanks. I'll save up and order a load of stuff from him later then.

Thanks

I can supply the LHD facelift headlights they cost more than the Japanese RHD ones though at £420 a pair including postage.

If you can tell me what the part numbers of the lights you got are I can check which ones they are.

sorry mate but he is talking b*llox they do still make and sell glass headlights, he probably balls up your order and don,t want to change them, or he has the wrong part no

He's talking about LHD Euro ones though Gaz, not UK.

I'll see if I can find the correct part numbers for them.

Euro ones?

While I doubt they've stopped making them it's not beyond the realms of possibility. There's an increasing number of parts now that they have stopped making.

doh:)

There are a few different part numbers for the LHD Euro headlights.

Patrik did your car originally have glass head lights fitted from the factory? If it did, if you pm me your frame and model number I will check which headlight number you need.

It's the sort of part that they may discontinue after stock has run out, they do this sometimes if there are other alternative parts that can be substituted, ie. other LHD headlight versions.

ok now i got the part nr its

811101b190

811501b190

and they are the plastic ones :-(

for approx: 480£ and thats the same price as the glass unit had last time i need lights in may 2007.

nice to live in sweden sometimes

oh and its a jza80-0009839 TT autobox

would really love to know if getting glass ones still works they are way better looking than the plastic

One of the reasons they are more expensive is because you bought the headlight assemblies (according to the part numbers) which include all the bulbs too. Toyota sell the headlight housings without the bulbs, which are cheaper.

Here' are the part numbers for all the European headlights, it looks like the ones you have should be the correct ones, so not sure why they aren't glass.

If you need left hand drive glass lights why not use the american part no's ?
