A gread video from 1A Auto as usual, but far too much to go thru for a bulb change! Toyota should do better with design really. However, you may want to try the following procedure before taking off the front bumper:
– First, fit the bulb on the easier side first. Get to know the angle the bulb goes in and twist it to secure with a nice and sweet click;
– The other side works with the SAME ANGLE. Repeat the process for the other side with the harness disconnected (otherwise it's very hard to get the bulb properly in)! Then connect the harness and job done!
One more thing to consider. If you get moisture inside the headlights, check underneath that the black plastic shields in the fender wells are intact and any other plastic under there that may be loose/damaged/missing and fix that first. These plastic shrouds prevent water from splashing onto the backside of the lights.
I think I'll specialize in Toyota repair. I think they must be the easiest brand to wrench on.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the details and the tips!
Great video! FYI this was exactly the same procedure on my 2013 Prius.
The dealer wanted $370 for an OEM headlight and over $400 for labor to install it! Found one on Amazon for $119 and did it myself. Thanks!
My God. All i wanted to do was remove the headlights so i could undercoat the car properly, as i have done with other cars. Her car (girlfriends car),is a few weeks old so i did that part of the job with my extension wands. This is a lot of work. I'll wait till spring when the car is a few months older to do this..you can see from this video,all the surfaces to be coated..
(i've checked on my neighbors new Corolla what the dealer did and they don't do these inner areas) why i do my own. Takes me a day to do it all.
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. i won't break any clips and get this done.
Yes, outstanding video. thanks.
Must be what we call a "Yankee car". Never seen so much rust…Great video, especially the bumper removal.
Hi, thanks for the video. It's very useful.
I have questions.
1)Before taking the motor out, should we keep the light alignment to purticular point? I.e. 0 to 4
2) after fitment at which alignment point we should keep it, before doing beam alignment. I.e.0 to 4.
3) for my case, one side light is giving upper up and other is way down. How can I fix it? It's has a motor and manual adjustment.
Can the glass/ Plastic on the headlight be cleaned from the inside or simply replaced? I used to clean the glass on the head lights of my Saab 900 SE 96.
Thank you for the video!! Followed along and just finished replacing my headlights! Took about an hour to complete. Did not raise the car, just laid down in the driveway. 🙂
Great video I replaced both my headlight assemblies in about 45 minutes. I bought the assemblies on Amazon
Outstanding DIY video.
