Those basterds

I woke up this morning with 4 flat tires, SOmeone though it would be fun to take the air out of them they also though it would be fun too take a screwdriver to my headlight creating a nice chip. Now i know the insurance company wont cover the chip there just gonna say its from a rock so i was wondering how much it is for a headlight for 2002 4runner if its over my deductable then i will be getting insurance or try too

Headlights are probably pricey. I'm guessing that's why there's been a lot of discussion about headlight protection lately. As for the tires are they damaged or did some moron have nothing better to do than spend 5 minutes per tire holding in the valve pin?

I paid $95 for a 2nd generation front light kit. You probably only need the glass and could find that seperate. Try www.partstrain.com

When I was thinking about upgrading my headlights to the 99-02 style, the dealership gave me a price of $300+cdn each but not really sure what the exact price was but I know it was over $300cdn each. Sorry to hear about your rig.

Yeah they just let the air out , So i had to call a tow truck to come fill up the tires which cost 30$ as for the headlights is the glass on the front of the headlight a seperate piece cause thats the only thing chipped

Soundsl like you need to get an air compressor.

That sucks that they did that, at least they were "nice" about it, and oly let the air out, instead of cutting the tires

Yep,that almost would have been better. My Eclipse had a screwdriver taken to it's paint and I got a $2000 paintjob for $250 and actually it needed a respray after 5 Colorado winters.

Needless to say I was only mildly PO'd. :beach:

I've tried to separate the glass part from the reflector part and was unsuccessful. The glass was bonded together and it would just chip shards off when I would pry on it. I had to replace the whole thing
