If one were to use Izanagi or Izanami, the light in that eye would be lost
forever. When Tobi used it, he replaced the eye with a Rinnegan. It isn't
stated clearly, but they made it sound like he couldn't have used another
Sharingan to replace it.

That is my question: could one transplant a new Sharingan eye into that socket
and have light in that eye again?

Can a Sharingan eye that has used Izanagi or Izanami be replaced by another Sharingan?


**YES** , a new Sharingan could be transplanted into the eye socket replacing
the eye which used Izanagi. Use of Izanagi or Izanami causes the eye to
permanently lose its light, but it does not damage the optic nerve that
connects to the eye. If it did, Tobi should not have been able to transplant
even a Rinnegan there. For that matter, he could have transplanted a Byakugan
or an ordinary eye there.

Tobi wanted the Rinnegan for its own sake, not because he had to somehow
replace "permanently closed" Sharingan eye. In fact, he wouldn't have known
beforehand that he would be forced to use Izanagi in the fight with Konan.
Hypothetically, if Konan had simply handed over Nagato's Rinnegan to him, he
would have taken out the left eye anyway and replaced it with the Rinnegan.
