I hope they're alright dude. Nothing would be worse than broken 2012 headlights (I'm assuming they're 2012) Haha.

I wouldn't be worried. Those boxes look pretty sturdy, and those holes are meant to be used as handles, which I'm sure you're aware of. Plus the boxes themselves have the breakable and fragile symbols on them, so the shipping company should know to handle them with care, or they would be subject to a claims case from Toyota, which the shipping company would lose guaranteed. The employee handling the product would know all this just from looking at the box lol. Padding would have been nice though.

I'd be more worried if there were crushed corners or gash marks on the boxes themselves, those would indicate dropped boxes or loose boxes hitting them in the truck.

$50 is pretty cheap for shipping too, I'd probably be looking at twice that here in Canada.

Yeah I know any potential issues will be taken care of. What bothers me is that there was better packaging when I ordered my old Fsport intake compared to these headlights which cost ~$900 more
