I am a 63 year old female and have never done this before. Was tough and I was scared to break something but I did it. Thanks so much for the excellent video 😊
"now that was kind of easy, but the first time I tried, it was hard to pull it out." THANK YOU! That's exactly what I needed to know. Every other video shows the bulb coming out with almost zero effort. I had to pull really hard to get them out and kept thinking I was missing a step and about to break something
I am a 23 year old woman who knows NOTHINGGG about cars. I mean zip but with this video I went out and changed both of my headlights in like 5 minutes. Thank you for your service sir🫡
The screwdriver technique was something I could find nowhere else; I did not want to shatter the plastic clip so I appreciated the idea of using a screwdriver to remove the plastic power sheath.
Currently it's 2°F outside with feel like temp of -15°F......I didn't want to be waisting time figuring this out. Your video saved me from freezing my butt of and possibly trying to rush it with cold plastic parts. Thanks for the video! Btw my driver light was easy to remove. However, passenger side required a flat head.
Thank you for this extremely helpful tutorial! This is the second time I’ve referred to this in order to replace my headlights. Wouldn’t say I’m a “handy” individual but the confidence boost in being able to do this myself was awesome. This time around, I picked up one of those headlight flashlights and wow! Made it so much easier. Thanks again for the opportunity to not have to hire someone for once!!
Detatch the bulb from the housing first! Then you can separate the bulb from the wiring. It’s much easier this way. I did it today and it took me 3 minutes.
Thank you, my headlight on the passenger side went out a couple days ago, I was furious because I thought it was an LED assembly, but then I found out it was a halogen light...so now you've showed me what to do and I will do it ❤️
Thank you so much for this. I went to auto zone to buy the bulbs thinking i could get them to help me change the bulbs. The man refused said something about to many screws whatever that means. I got home and decided nothing i cant find on UA-cam, saw your video and i got it done. So proud of myself. Thank you so much🎉
Thanks for the honest review. I have a 2016, and you demonstrated how that outside plastic thing won't budge even when you "press down" on it. It's tricky but the recommended short screwdriver is also correct. Once off, replacement is a breeze. Thanks again for the help.
Nice detailed video. Thank you for adding the screwdriver alternative for unhooking the bracket. I was having difficulty getting off until I watched your video. Now I see how it works. 👍🏼😂
Helpful video. Mine were hard to uncle too but instead of using my tiny screwdriver to pry the bulb covers off, per the video, I used the handle to apply a little more pressure to push down the clip and it worked. 🎉
There is a detailed description of how to do this in your owner's manual on page 596. You want to screw the bulb out first and then disconnect the wiring harness. Great video!
Done in less than 10 minutes! (Would have been 5 if I had my screwdriver handy.) Personally, I couldn't get the right angle to get the harness off the bulb while everything was in, so I turned the bulb and tugged it out while it was attached. (Watch the wires!) THEN, I could use my screwdriver to get the harness off the bulb. Then, popped the bulb back in and attached the harness back. Easy peasy! Thank you for this vid!
Thank you! That was really helpful. Just replaced both my RAV4 headlights within a few minutes. I did need to use a screwdriver to help pull the electrical connector off. So thanks for the tip.
🎉 my first time ever under a hood of a car 💅🏾thanks so much took me less than ten minutes and I use a letter opener … now my brakes I’ll leave to the professionals 😊thanks again
Thank you for having the bulb size in the description! Meant I could buy the bulb last night. None of the websites I went to wanted to just tell me what to get.
Thanx for the effort 👍As with your experience I found it hard to remove the bulb assembly from the auto body mount point. One note I think the job goes easier if one removes the bulb assembly from the frame first then separates the bulb from the wiring harness.
Twist the bulb counterclockwise until it stops. It will not just come out , you will need to put some force . Also the bulb was a 9012 Philips brand, if you are looking like for like, I both a pair on Amazon for 30$.
To pop that clip just use the square tip of a 1/4" socket wrench & use it to push down on the end of the tab in the center of the red clip on the end closest to the red & white wire and tug down. Slides right off
I'm assuming you took the connector cable off first because of having one hand but it's way easier if you just take the bulb out first then pull the red connection off.... Trust me

Yay for you!!! I LOVE UA-cam!!!
@@lcorvettewell done indeed save me the 20 bucks the mechanic wants for each light

Ty for making this! RAV4 owners unite!
Thanks stranger, didn't even need a screwdriver for my 18'. Came off very easily. Much easier than how it looks.

I can def confirm that it was much easier to twist the bulb off, then pull the connection off!

Thanks, your video was helpful. I'm glad Toyota made it an easy job on this car.
Благодарю! Уже менял эти лампы один раз, но без подсказки второй раз не смог. Ваше видео, с помощью автоперевода помогли😊.
Привет из России! 🖐
I was having problems getting harness off too. Thanks for screwdriver tip. It worked. Only video I found with this tip

Thank you for having the bulb size in the description! Meant I could buy the bulb last night. None of the websites I went to wanted to just tell me what to get.
Thank you for making this video. It helped me remove the electrical connector which is the hardest part of the whole bulb replacement.
That hint about using a flathead on the harness really helped. Thanks!
Great video!!! Thank you so much. I’ll be going to Autozone today 😊
Thanks for this! I managed to change both of them with minimal fury. :)
