Wow, I just looked in the tsrm & it's pretty useless as far as how to replace/fix the headlamp assembly goes! Here's the single page they devoted to the headlights anyway... http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Librar...Section=BO&P=4

From the sound of things you broke the hinge (visible in fourth pic.) and most likely need to replace the assembly. If you still have the bit that broke off there's a chance you could fix it with epoxy or similar & it might be worth a shot if you can't find a lamp assembly for the right money. I guess if you're really hard-up (or as stingy as me!) you could even make a replacement hinge out of fibreglass if need be...
