Don't know where you live but a quick google of used Toyota parts will help you. Junk yards everywhere that specialize in Toyotas only. You can get them to ship to you.

Don't know where you are but Nix 99 in western WA are awesome. I think 1/4 of my truck is now parts from them. They are a toyota/lexus junkyard and have almost anything you could need.

1980

Kind of funny,but I also picked up my latest 1980 toyota for 600.As for what you're looking for,try discountbodyparts.com You just type in the make,year,and model.It will show you everything they have for that year.Also,remember that a lot of parts are interchangable from 79-83 toyota 4x4.Good luck.

Why would you want to change to the square lights???? Keep the first gen look! Also, '81's have rounds, and I don't think they went to squares till '83.

I know the round sealed beams suck but you can get HID conversions like hella's ($$) or ebay specials like I did. Big upgrade. Search HID conversion

You'd also have to change out the headlight adjustment bracket (the metal cup that holds the headlight) to one of the square ones. Not just the grill and plastic around the lights.
