the invisible part. help?

i own a 1981 4x4 toyota pickup with the square headlights. i hit a deer a while back and broke the headlight door on the passenger side. i have looked everywhere for a replacement one and have found the circle headlight doors on ebay and other sites for an 81'. does any one know of a place that i could get one of these headlight doors. or if i could take the cover off the circular headlight door and put that on my truck. i have searched junk yards, u-pull-its, auto shops, the internet for hours looking for this part. every truck i came close to taking one off of had already sold or gave it away. its starting to drive me nuts how this part is so invisible. please help.

What's a headlight door? I've had my truck for over 25 years, disassembled and reassembled it many times and have never seen a headlight door. BTW, '81s have round headlights, '83s have square,'82s have either

A headlight door is the plastic border ring thats around the headlight, either chrome or black. The headlight just mounts inside of it. It's tied into the grille, without it the front end/headlight would look funny. Not sure where you can get part. Those older parts are getting harder to find. Try craigs list in different cities too, you might run across something.

And ebay other countries too.

I have 2 sets, one silver/black one chrome. Not for sale though, they really are hard to find in good shape.

They are called headlight bezel/bucket/surround, never heard them being called doors before.

Yes, as mentioned before someone converted your truck to an 82-83 grill/headlight bezels should have had these:


colorado: http://www.yotayard.com/home.htm
california: http://www.calminitruck.com/
http://www.toytruckscalifornia.com/ (might just be engines)
http://www.alltoyotatrucksuvparts.com/
Portland:

Phone: (503) 775-3345

you could also try PM'ing Deathcougar, he seems to work at a toyota lexus wrecking yard up in washington
or PM dirtyboy, I think I saw in his signature he works at a Toyota yard in st. louis...

Hope you find what you need...
