    A few months ago I asked for a part number for the retaining ring that holds the side marker on. Well got around to ordering the part, unfortunately its not the only thing that broke.

    The bracket that holds the retaining ring also broke. Here is a photo of the part that broke, the red line shows the part that also broke. Anyone have a part number for this bracket for the side marker light?

    I'll get a photo of the actual part that broke tomorrow to get a more clear image of what broke

    EDIT May 23: Had to reuploaded image because imgur changed TOS

    Try contacting 'Japanese Truck Dismantling' in Wilmington, CA. Talk to them and describe the part or email them a pic. They're super knowledgeable over there. They'll probably have the part you need.

    Update: I fixed this a long time ago but I'll add what I did learn.

    The part that broke was the plastic housing that holds the lens + reflector in place. Its about 50$ from Toyota, and it'll take around an hour to replace. You have to remove the plastic grill which isn't too hard, and there are a few 10 mm bolts you'll have to undo. The hardest part was getting the stabilizing spring back in place on the new part (you'll know what part I am referring to when you see it). While the plastic grommet I ordered wasn't my issue, it was nice to not reuse the old one.

    The relevant part numbers are:
    81105-35231 Housing sub assembly
    90189-06111 Grommet
