    Default Help Sourcing Headlight Assemebly RAV$ Hybrid

    Anyone point me in the right direction in sourcing RHS Headlight assembly for Sept 2020 RAV4 Cruiser AWD 5 door. It's a 6 week wait via Toyota. There are allegedly none in Australia. I am in regional Qld and have not been abale to source a unit non genuine or otherwise from an exhaustive web search/ phone calls, plenty of 'does nut suit HYBRID' listing.
    My problem, is that an impact with a bird has cracked the headlight which has allowed moisture nto the interior which has stuffed the assembly computer (yes the headlights have their own little cumputer unit at @ $450 which is available locally). This means an error message re light malfunction turns into a malfunction of the Hybrid system and everything else imaginable.The vehicle will shut down should it be driven at night and next to useless in daytime with no speedo, indicators etc. Yes I have insurance but still a six week wait for the assembly. Willing to replace the unit ourselves, have sourced the required computer but cannot the assembly itself. When Insurance parts turn up Ill at least have a spare for next time.
    Yes I agree with what many of my own era are probably thinking as they read this, but it is my 30 yo sons who just had to have all the bells and whistles.

    Any help appreciated.

    When i worked in spare parts this mob were our go to for 2nd hand toyota parts https://paradiseauto.com.au/
    Might be worth a try.

    Supply chain issues are getting better, but i think we still have 12-18 months before things get back to a pre covid level.

    There is a 2020 RAV4 Hybrid at wreckers near Melbourne that might be worth a try:
