so at some point in time, my celi was repainted and when they did it, they did a really shaddy job..my bumper doesnt line up fully, missed some spots painting, bits of spatter here and there, but when they put the headlights back in, they didnt put the gaskets in properly. So now all of my gasket on my highbeams on the bottom is poped out and my low beams gaskets keep fallin out/off...so how do i get the headlight out/repair it??

I had the exact same problem as you and am getting desperate to know what could be done to sealing those gaps in the headlights.

If you want them secured the proper way when they were originally installed you have to take off your bumper to access the clips that hold them onto the headlight.

You basically clip the seal between the headlight and the clip and you're all set. There's about maybe 4 or 5 of them for each light.

I wouldn't glue them...especially if you live in a state where you have winters because they can harden up and eventually peel right off.

Got to your toyota dealer. Clips shouldn't cost more than $1 each. Don't know exact cost, but just go there and check out how much they'll all cost.

Just tell them that you need the clips that attach the seal to the headlight.
