My beloved 2008 Toyota Yaris (2-door Hatchback, base model), aka Bessie, is in need of a little help with her vision these days. My 80-year old dad says she has cataracts, like him. LOL.
The current headlight covers are original to the car when I purchased in 2010 and are scratched beyond the point of the kits I’ve purchased to “restore” them. Is there somewhere reputable and affordable where I can find a pair of plastic headlight covers to replace the originals? The electrical components of the headlights (headlamps?) are in great shape and do not need replacing, but I’ve never had a car this long and am unsure of my options for replacing specific parts.
I’d drop by a car detailer, they can polish up the headlights for not too much $$. The alternative is to replace the headlight assembly, the covers aren’t separate.
Thank you! It’s incredibly helpful to know the proper terminology I have a friend who is a detailer and will ask them before I try to replace anything.
Your dad’s headlight covers can be replaced too. My mother in law had her lenses replaced a few years ago. I believe that Medicare paid for all or most of it. They’ll do one at a time given the remote chance that there is a problem with the first one that leaves that eye blind.
