Anyone know a supplier of facelift new headlights other than MR2Ben?

Chilli Girl

Mr T used to supply, don't know if they still do.
Ex owners of Chilli red facelift 52 reg called Chilli, silver 55 reg called Foxy and blue pfl W reg MR-S called Sapphire. Now 2 less!

Mr T used to sell them on ebay & when there was a discount that was cheapest source.  Not sure they have for some time. 2nd cheapest was TCB Performance. 01579 383879

The website made by a 5 year old always puts me off that place but they get good reviews. Have dropped them a message let's see if they have them.

Agreed, naff website.  I believe it was a Father/son company, father now passed-on.  I belive it's better getting him on the phone.  Or Facebook message.
I never use MR2-Ben.

I have also found them on GT4 play at £30 a pair cheaper than Ben but to order so have messaged them for timescale. Also messaged the guys above. Anyone else to try?

£13 a unit cheaper than GT4 play and £43 a unit cheaper than Ben. I looked on Toyota parts direct but didn't see the MR2 listed. After seeing this I went back and did a search for headlight and they come up even though there isn't a listing on the front page for the MR2 / MRS. Not great website design.

Yeah makes a huge difference. Wonder how long it will take them to start going hazy

Laquer them before fitting.

1) - years. 10, 12, 15 maybe....it depends on their exposure to UV light.

2) - Wrong thing to do. They have UV protection in them.  Wash gently with as gentle a cleaner as will work.

@mr9 - well your pic and the £277 offer price on Toyota Parts Direct finally convinced me!

New headlights ordered (now on back order - expected 4th July)

I've refurbished mine a couple of times since owning it, but I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle now, and have been looking out for new ones at a non-ridiculous price (some listings are in the £900-£1000 range for the pair!?!)

If they have the same effect on my car as they have on yours, I'll be well chuffed! 🤞

Does anyone know TCB's price? I'd rather use Paul than Toyota Direct if I can - I want to see independents like TCB keep Toyota honest.
