Anyone know a supplier of facelift new headlights other than MR2Ben?
Mr T used to supply, don't know if they still do.
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?
Been looking myself
Toyota parts direct look like they have them at £277
Bought some in October from tbc parts

£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.
