Great video- I was able to change the tail light in about an hour, but it’s a tricky job. I recommend a magnetized 10mm socket so as not to drop the nuts. Also, sliding the new light into place took about ten minutes of fiddling. But glad I didn’t have to go to the dealer. Total cost was under $100.
Thats good to know it help you buddy! And thank you so much! I try to keep it clean. The 350 is a good one and you will enjoy driving it. If you need a video for the 350 I will use my for a video. Let me know. 👍🏻
Many thanks for the excellent video. One question: is there any difficulty in detaching and reattaching the weather seal? Any clips we should watch out for? Or does it simply slide back into the channel?
It would be real helpful if you would describe the details of the tools we need for example 12 mm socket, suck it wrench, Phillips screwdriver. Thank you
Hi! The tools are listed on the second 21. Only tools needed are phillips screw driver, wrench with extension, #10mm and #14mm sockets. Thank you for watching!
Hello, thank you for your video, do you have a video on how to change the rear fog light on passenger side on a 2008 Toyota rav4? I cant find anything…
There is no fog light. Side light, blinker and reverse light. The stop/running light is integrated into the case and is not replaceable. The entire assembly must be replaced.
Mine had tabs in it along with the 3x 10mm Hex Nuts. I didn't realize where those long tabs were and broke them off. I guess some '06-'12 Rav4's don't have those because I didn't see you mention them nor have to unclip anything
Hi Josh! Please see in minute 3:40. I show where the long plastic tab is going to be place and the corner plastic that holds the lamp to the panel. Please see the video again and hope you see it. Thanks for watching and have a good one!
Also, forgot to add in the las message that the 3x100mm hex its shown in minute 2:15. The rav4 from 2006-2012 have the same rear lamp assy. The only thing that change is the color and outside specs.
Thank you for the video, it was precise and not overdone. The Toyota engineers must have been having a laugh at us though. All that to gain access to the tail light 🤯. Wtf @ toyota
My friend is trying to do this right now in my driveway. The new assembly won't "snap" in, and we can't push it in either. Suggestions? What did we miss?
Hi Jennifer! Check if the new assy. have the corner holder, 1 plastic pin (red) in the middle and also it should have 3 screws. In the body of the suv you should have a white base for the red pin. See video in minute 3:40. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
My 2006 Toyota rav4 tail light stop working all of a sudden. Assembly is just fine. Not sure if your video is explaining how to replace bulb only since your description says rear lamp which is pain in the neck for people like me. I don't think its really that easy and my cargo area is full of junk. Too much work.
@@prestigeautogang291 Thanks for responding. Yes that compartment I know and also can open but its really hard to reach area. Can reach there very limited and can't see anything. I just need to replace some of blown led bulbs. If you follow this all that you showed in your video then I will be really difficult for me.
Hi Jennifer! The toyota part numbers are: for the whole assy. driver side P/N: 81561-42100, passenger side P/N: 81551-42100. And for just the bulb it will be P/N: 00234-00192. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to subscribe.
@@prestigeautogang291 If you haven't done it then you're guessing. It is NOT the same, there is a metal brace bolted in to hold the jack. Much more difficult.
Hi Marilyn. Thats a great question. 🤣🤣🤣 They tried to make everything so impossible so we have to take it to the dealer and they can charge and absurd amount of money.
your video is very good,i have seen others that are just almost breaking the plastic cover and you are working intelligently.Bravo
Finally a good video for this! I will be replacing my wife soon. Thanks buddy!
Good to know! Thanks @federal
Hope your new wife is better

Thanks for making this. You're a good dude. I'm changing the lights tomorrow.
Your ISF is very nice. I just picked up an IS350 and it is amazing.

Thank you for this video. Do you have to disconnect the battery?
Thank you very very much men! I was looking another video where the guy was disarming like all the back of the car to do it 🙈
I came from that video to here as well. The pyramids of Egypt aren’t as complicated as that guy made it.
Many thanks for the excellent video. One question: is there any difficulty in detaching and reattaching the weather seal? Any clips we should watch out for? Or does it simply slide back into the channel?
Turns out the seal is really easy to remove and replace, no adhesive needed.
why do we have to remove too many things in order to insall bulbs. .too much
Cus Toyota
@@daslynnter9841 I have been using my 4th Toyota car and this one is worse and very uncomfortable car. Sucks big time🙄
Cus you don’t,you can just stick your hand in there and change it

Hi! The tools are listed on the second 21. Only tools needed are phillips screw driver, wrench with extension, #10mm and #14mm sockets. Thank you for watching!
You are talking about a whole tail light assembly, not just the bulb right?
FoyeStender yes the hold assembly! Removing the bulb you don’t have to remove the assembly.

Hi! On the side its a small compartment that have access to the bulb. On the video will be the minute 2:05. Hope this helps!

Hi Isaac! Good to know it help you!
Thanks for watching!
I need to buy the replacement. What part do I have to buy? Could you give me a suggestion please.

@@prestigeautogang291 I found your video very helpful. And thank you for getting back to me so fast!
Your welcome Jennifer. And thats good to know that the video help you. Have a great day!
Hello! Is it the same procedure for the tail light on the passengers’ side?
Hi! Yes, the process is the same. Thanks for watching.
@@prestigeautogang291 ok thanks!
The RAV4 is a good vehicle, but the engineers must have been drunk or playing a bad joke when they designed the access to the rear lights.
Completly correct! Hahaha they want us to take it to the dealer. Thanks for watching!
thanks, was able to change mine. only your video showed the second tab holding the assembly up on the pointy corner
Yeah, they designed it like that to get you to take it to the dealer.
Yep! Something that is supposed to be simple. But they accomplished that with a lot of persons. How much money they charge for it is the question.
Is this the same process for a Toyota vanguard?
Hi Kat! Yes, they are the same.
Make video how to do it passenger side ?
Hi Omar Baca. We don’t have the SUV no more. But it have to be the same process. Thanks for watching!
@@prestigeautogang291 If you haven't done it then you're guessing. It is NOT the same, there is a metal brace bolted in to hold the jack. Much more difficult.
Who the hell designed this?
Hi Marilyn. Thats a great question. 🤣🤣🤣 They tried to make everything so impossible so we have to take it to the dealer and they can charge and absurd amount of money.
These engineers need to be fired
Agree!
Not exactly an easy DIY job.
