Ok, I have a few things I'd like to get rid of if anyone wants them...
I recently discovered that my passenger side headlight developed a bunch of cracks for no reason whatsoever (nothing impacted or hit it, it just started cracking) so I had to buy a brand new one from Toyota. However, my old lights were blacked out so all I needed was the top plastic cover for it.
The projector, clear paintable piece, and all of the mirrored areas are in perfect shape (brand new from toyota and never used). However, the bottom plastic piece is in rough condition as i forgot to put a towel down when i was baking this headlight and it melted off a lot of the back piece. The top is also cracked badly, but if you're interested in any of these pieces make me an offer.

That is odd that all of us have had that same issue. And badly enough, it looks like my drivers side is slowly starting to develop them too but hopefully it'll hold off for a whille.

Oh, and I got the entire assembly from toyota for $180 (it listed for like $240 something though if I remember correct). Reason for the low price is the cracking actually seemed to happen while my car was getting some warranty work done, however after looking closely we determined there's pretty much no way anything hit it so I think it was just unlucky timing. They felt bad about it though so gave me a good deal on the piece.

And Tater, I'll try to get a shipping quote as soon as I can and I'll PM you with what I find out.
