Default Headlight replacement parts

2007 Raider

In months past I have searched Google for headlight assembly replacement because my headlights are badly scratched. I had several choices to pick from.

Now the search has NO sites that sell the assembly, all that shows up in the search are bulbs.

I have searched Headlights, headlight assembly, headlight bezel, headlight lens with no results.

All I want is the OEM replacement.

Maybe I need to try Bing!!

Any thoughts appreciated!!

Mitsubishi parts warehouse

Ebay (scroll down a little)

Thank you for your efforts. I think 500.00+ is a bit high for a set of headlights, and the ones on Ebay were used and for right side only. In the past they were available for less than 200.00 or less a set. What has happened to the aftermarket suppliers? I didn't put in the original post that I am a cheapskate, Sorry!

Thanks again

Junk yards then. Aftermarket is drying up for the Dakotas and the Raider, which had less aftermarket support to begin with.

Unfortunately, jkeaton is correct. My next truck will most likely be a Ram (hopefully years from now), due to the aftermarket support and the fact that the few mid-size trucks available now-a-days are just as expensive as a full size. Mid-size trucks have never had the sales numbers and therefore the support like the full sizes.

I have had the best luck on ebay in the past.

Yeah, I got most of my custom stuff from eBay listings or stores found on eBay.

I work in the recycled/aftermarket parts field, and for the Raider even aftermarket headlamps will run you around $600+ per pair. Used/recycled is the way to go. It'll still run $400 or so because of the rarity of the vehicle.
