    Is anyone selling a used driver side headlight assembly or know where to get a cheap foggy one for a Gen 1? Will a 2002 Echo headlight roughly fit in the space ?

    Nelson, I was trying to locate a set for mine a couple of years ago with no luck. I ended up simply buffing out what I had. I hope you locate some or an alternate supply. Very curious what you come up with as I’d like to acquire a new set.

    Here’s an FYI for you. When I had the lights out to do an inverter pump replacement I also changed out the standard halogen bulbs and upgraded to an LED. It did require a rearranging of the baffle and some waterproof silicone since the bulb was larger. You can see the difference in light here from driver to passenger side. One side light is buffed with LED replacement, the other is not.

    There are hundreds of them available from dismantlers. I see prices for cloudy ones at $20. Car-parts.com
