    Hey All,

    Where can I find a detailed set of schematics displaying an exploded diagram of the car's parts, listing the part numbers? This is for the 2008 Prius Model 3 (Touring).

    Specifically, I need to replace:
    1. The headlamp covers
    2. All the fasteners necessary to remove the headlamp assemblies
    3. All the fasteners necessary to remove the windshield washer reservoir
    4. All the fasteners necessary to remove the fuse box in the engine compartment
    I fell down a rabbit hole when I went to change the driver-side headlamp for the first time on my preowned Prius, and now I have some work to do.

    I went to unscrew the plastic headlamp cover to replace the headlamp, and I found that all the "fins" (the plastic pieces that protrude from the headlamp cover to supply leverage to unscrew it) have been broken off. With the small clearance, it was impossible to turn the headlamp cover.

    I read that I could move the fuse box in the engine compartment to give more work space. So I went to move the fuse box, but all the fasteners were corroded. I might be able to get them out with a good overnight PB Blaster soak, but I'd only want to do so if I had the replacement bolt on-hand.

    Finally, I went to remove the headlamp assembly (and therefore the bumper cover--if only partially), but I found the same thing--the first (phillips-head) fastener I tried to unscrew was corroded tight. And I stripped the poor phillips head a bit trying to pry it out. Moreover, I broke many of the plastic fasteners.

    I bought this car in upstate NY, so it's had its share of salty roads over the past 10 years.

    Before I proceed, I'd like to buy a big bag of the necessary replacement fasteners (all that I need + spares) so that--after I get the original bolts out--I can screw the replacement (well anti-seize-coated) bolts in-place. And replace all those old plastic fasteners too.

    And, of course, replace those plastic headlamp covers with the broken fins!

    But where can I find a list of part numbers that I need to put together an order for this work? And where can I order the parts?

    Wonderful resource, thank you!

    Unfortunately, one of these bolts is >$10 online. Am I doing something wrong? I don't mind spending $10 on a 20-pack, but why does one bolt cost $10? Surely I must be missing something..

    Specifically, this is for the "Front Bumper Cover Cushion" Phillips-head bolt = part # 53119-47010. I'd like to get 4, but $40 is insane for 4 tiny bolts.

    * TOYOTA OEM 04-09 Prius Front Bumper-bumper Cover Cushion 5311947010 | eBay

    Where can I find these parts at a reasonable price?

    WELCOME TO PRIUS PRICING..... It's a specialty part, ding! You could always try a salvage yard. I find sometimes if I Google a PN# I will actually find a dealer who is less expensive than others!
