Rav2020 Rear outer light replacement

[Sbrooks]

Does anyone know a good place where you can buy spare outer light parts?

My garage is quoting me £220 for a replacement + work hours.  The unit is attached with 4 screws, and easily replaced by doing it yourself.

I don't understand why a Toyota garage can charge £80 labour. They don't want to sell the part on its own. 

Surely you can buy it somewhere?! 

Any thoughts or links would be gratefully received !

Standard or phev ? driver or passenger side ??

LH - 81551-42230

RH - 81561-42230

Labour rates vary from area to area. £80 per hour isn't the highest, and franchised dealer labour rates, whatever the marque, tend to be higher than independents due to their increased overheads.

Try another dealer.

@flash22 Standard, the RH side (driver).   It is a sealed unit, but I was wondering if there are any parts-shops who have it cheaper than £216 when ordered by a garage.

Has the light failed completely, or just one section/ part of a light - any front light issues ? If it's a side/tail not working, check the fuses - unless you busted it

The vehicle is still under manufacturers warranty & they will be worried about future comebacks / installation damage to the part / vehicle or possible water leaks due to incorrect DIY fitment. 

The dealer supplying & fitting the part = any issues its the dealers problem to sort out.

@flash22 No, someone ran into it, and the plastic cover has cracked. The light is still working perfectly, but -as it is a sealed unit- they have to replace the entire outer part.

You could try a salvage yard, something like this.
