rang local toyota to be given a price and then told they dont have any, cannot remember the last time they supplied a customer any, and after checking said toyota australia wide has none and they are highly unlikely to stock again. his recommendation was to go aftermarket
so thats what i did. only drame is these rely on the top edge of the bumper to hold the clip in place. looks like i will be making something. was considering either gluing or silicone to hold the bracket fixed to underside bottom edge of the light. the bottom side is exposed as the bumper is removed and the bar is 2.5cm away so no way of holding the cover using the bar
no issue with the top clip. these only use 2 clips. 1 is top outside corner, slide rubber back and slide clip into position. 2nd clip is my issue!!!!
just when you think it should be a simple job it isnt. my swmbo gets so aggravate when i say "i am just going to do such and such, dont worry its a 5 minute job" only to find 2 hours later after much deliberation, frustration at the manufacturer, a lot of swearing and tossing things around the workshop in a search for something to do the job, the bl**dy thing finally goes on. i bought these from bursons and they had to get them freighted in from who knows where, next day. so i dont hold much hope of getting a commonsense answer from them
......... grumble, grumble, grumble .........
