I searched UA-cam for videos showing the complete process for removing the trim panel and replacing the fog light bulb and there weren't any. They all skipped to the part after the panel was removed. This video shows the complete process for you. As always, I record easy to follow step-by-step videos for repairs around the home. It was my an honor to have you subscribe.

I have a 2013 tundra and this is the first fog light replacement video that i've come across that shows all the steps from A-Z! Thank you... Subscribed as well!
I agree! It was frustrating seeing so many videos and not a single one showed all of the steps. That is always my goal when recording a DIY video. Don’t skip steps!
Straight to the point, no BS. I could double tap to forward 10 secs and I got through what I needed to know in less than a minute. Thanks! *Tapped like*
Thanks! I have several videos for this truck so be sure to sub.
Nice tutorial! But the liner extension top should have gone under the lip of the fender liner when reassembling. Thanks for the video!
You are correct. I fixed it later!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. So helpful and easy to follow.
Great detail!... thanks for taking time to share. A lot of people will get confidence to do it themselves.👍
You are most welcome. I have several videos for this truck so be sure to subscribe.
Thank you for this video, I needed actually how to remove the cover, now that I have that, I found a tool like the one you have in my late husbands tools, I’ll have my coffee and once it gets daylight I’ll attempt to get this done. My lights have been out for three years. 😊
Bless you brother. Videos are saving me a lot of money
Glad to hear it!
Thank you for the video. I'll be using this to replace my 08 Tundra's fog lights.
Great! I have to replaced my wife’s headlight bulb tomorrow!
Love the video. Thanks. i have a 2011 Toyota Tundra.. I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed. I also bought the trim removal tool with extra grommets ..
Nice! Thanks for the sub!
Thanks. I just acquired a 2012 Tundra and you are a great help. Thanks.
I love this truck! Mine is a 2007 with 180K and still going strong.
Very clear directions, thanks🤙🏼
You’re welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful!
Thank you. Great video great camera work. Key to success as others block what they’re doing without realizing it
Thanks. I try but some angles are a challenge. I’ve definitely improved over time by having a better tripod. I have several videos for this truck so be sure to subscribe.
No other video showed me the proper tool to use to pry the clips (replacing antenna ornament) had the tool in my tool box went right for it thank you! 2013
This is a very much appreciated video!! I just got a new to me 2012 Toyota Tundra and am replacing all of the lights with LED’s so seeing what ALL actually needs to be done is awesome!! I’ve been looking for a headlight replacement video also and every video I’ve found shows the basic steps but not how to remove the grill to remove the headlights so now I’m gonna check your channel in hopes you have those steps. Thank you for making this video it was super helpful.
My pleasure. I have several repair videos for this truck so I think you will love it.
Thanks for the post. You saved me lots of time.
My pleasure.
This is great, thank u!! I'm glad I saw this so I can hold off on doing mine till the tool and Clips arrive. Cheers!!
Yes! Makes it much easier.
Thank you very much! Great video and a clear explanation.
Great! I’m glad you found it helpful.
Excellent Video Man good walk through.. Thanks Wade Out.
Thanks! I’m about to replace the passenger side this weekend!
Thank you so very much … you make it very easy. you saved me… blessings
Great! I’m glad it helped make the repair easier.
Good clear instructions! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Great simple informative video thanks
I’m glad you found it helpful.
Thanks for the tutorial.
My pleasure. I’m glad you found it helpful.
Agree that this is one of the best videos for this job ... all the steps A to Z as many have said. Just finished replacing mine and here is what I learned. First, I did the passenger side first so the 10 o'clock, 4 o'clock references are different than driver side as seen in the video. No big deal -just get a flashlight so you can see the three tabs of which two are the same size and one is a bit smaller and line them up with the receptacle accordingly (both sides are removed counter-clockwise and installed with a clockwise movement as mentioned in the video. Second, in a 9 yr old Tundra that has spent it life in Texas, trying to carefully remove the plastic rivets is guaranteed to cause them all to break. I went by a local O'Reilley's auto parts store and found that the ~8mm "Dorman GM Push Pane Retainter (962-021D)l" rivets work well in a pinch for the first two rivets that are removed in the video. Unfortunately, they only come two to a box so I would need to make another trip to buy two more for $3.99+tax. Just go get this : www.amazon.com/GOOACC-Retainer-Plastic-Fasteners-Chrysler/dp/B07L6FJGR4/ is my next step. My new lights (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCM2KCM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) are installed and working great and my driver's side fender splash shield is reinstalled. I'll get the passenger side splash guard back in when I get some more rivets.
I’m glad you found it helpful. Thanks for adding some great information.
Thank you for this video. Very helpful as we're replacing our old fog lights with new LED ones today. 👍 2013 tundra sr5
That’s great! I’m glad it worked for you too! How do you like the LEDs?
@@TightWadDIY we're still waiting for them to come in the mail. Should be here today. Love some LEDs! 💯
Thank You for your help
You’re welcome! I am about to replace the one on my passenger side.
I was able to just remove (tore 1) the first two trim clips and bend out trim to replace bulb, thus saving any possible damage to inside clip. ‘08 Tundra. Thanks for the video.
That’s great!
Finally, thank you for the informative video. My dad has an 07 4.7L with 229k miles on her still going strong tows lots too.
That’s great to hear! I am glad the video helped out. I have several videos for this truck so be sure to subscribe.. Mine is an 07 too.
@@TightWadDIY How many miles on yours? These things just refuse to die.
@@arfetherussian I just passed 170K. It’s been a great truck!
Great video, thank you!
You’re welcome! My passenger side just went out so now I have to do that one!
Thanks for the video. I need to do this to my 2011 soon. The dealership spotted my left fog light being out today while they were doing an inspection during an oil change (I can't buy the oil for what the dealership charges, let alone the filter and taking the time to do it). They want over $90 to change a $20 bulb. Big lolno from me on that one. I'll do it myself.
It’s definitely ridiculous when they try to charge for easy things.
@@TightWadDIY I didn't mind paying them the $12 they wanted to replace a tag light once. That was cheap enough that it didn't feel like a rip off.
$94 for a $20 fog light, though? Definitely a rip off.
Thank you Sir, i upgrading my bulb 💡.😊🎉❤
Great 👍
Great job
Thanks!
Thank you - subscribed
Welcome aboard!
Thanks bro for that tip .
No problem 👍
Nice job
Thank you!
Awesome, thanks
My pleasure
Great video btw
Thanks!
Awesome,Thanks....mine is a 2010
I love this truck!
Thanks for the video. I think the top of the plastic part you took out goes behind the other one though. It looks that way from the beginning of the video at least. Replacing mine today. Appreciate it.
You are correct. I didn’t notice!
Good video
Thanks. I have several for this truck so be sure to subscribe!
Good video
I was able to stick my arm up from the bottom without removing anything on my 2011
You’re welcome! I’m glad it worked for you too!
Cool man just picked up a 2011 Toyota Tundra Crew Max 5.7L today Just Subscribed to your Channel Looking forward to checking out some of your content
Nice! I love my Tundra. There are several repair videos for it on my channel. Happy to have you.
Thumbs up. Thanks.
I’m glad you found it helpful.
Awesome..mine is 2910...Yes it's Fast
Haha.
I agree with every positive comment. The way you took off the first clip without tearing it was a result of using the tool properly. You inserted the tool in such a way to depress the clips locking mechanism, (See 0:55). Another way is to use a pick in the small hole to pry the clips locking mechanism. Thanks for all the links but so many times links change. Best to use Toyota part numbers like in the links description. MOTOALL Nylon Hood Bumper Fender Liner Front Spoiler Trim Panel Shield Retainer Fastener M5.5#12 Screw Grommet Rivet Clips for 9mm x 9mm Hole Toyota Lexus 90189-06065 - 100pcs, Just saying man, it's all good.
Thank! I really appreciate the feedback.
I just did my '07 and this video was very helpful. However, the plastic panel is anchored to the truck very differently for that model year.
I ended up removing 5 snaps and 4 screws, (the 5th was unessesary) plus a lot of frustrated prying at the bumper and the panel above with a plastic trim tool to get at the light. To top it all off, they used 3 very different types of snaps to hold down one little panel. It looks like Toyota went overkill with the redundancy of attachment points in the first year and toned things down in '08. Of those 5, one was already partially broken and I completely destroyed another, yet everything is still pretty secure. I imagine a lot of mechanics were rightfully complaining.
But underneath that plastic ft. knox was the same exact fog light assembly and that's where your video came in handy again.
So fyi to '07 owners, buy 2 plastic trim removal tools, remove the lower 2 snaps from the upper plastic panel in addition to the obvious ones and that funny one in the back like in the video. Use the trim tool to keep the protruding plastic bit towards the middle front of the truck from popping back down and use another to gently work the panel out from the bumper and the upper panel. The whole thing will probably come springing out at you if you do it right.
That’s really odd. Mine is an 07 also. Maybe they changed it up in the middle of the model year. I’m glad you got it figured out though!
@@TightWadDIY That is possible. Mine had some very unusual lower engine seals that were failing at 160k miles that really confused my mechanic. He specializes in Toyotas and knows Tundras like the back of his hand and never had that specific repair come through. It could be that I have one of the first 2nd gens built in '07.
Nice job with video, got job done in about 10 mi uses, and only ruined one clip.
That’s great! I’m glad it helped you out.
I just re-watched this video as I am ready to replace my bulbs ...but I realized the plastic wheel well cover was reInstalled incorrectly....the top portion should slip behind the wheel well not in front of it. otherwise, great video.....thank you
Yep. I fixed it later. Thanks!
Thank you for the thoughtfully produced video. Now that I've seen how easy it is to do and what tool and parts may be needed I'm going to do it myself and save. I'M A TIGHTWAD TOO.
I have a 08 Sequoia with 150k miles that needs shocks replaced and possibly upgraded.
I don't even know what I need or want. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark
That’s great! I know you can do it. The Sequoia and Tundra are mostly the same vehicle. What makes you think you need new shocks? Mine is an ‘07 with 160K and my shocks are fine.
@@TightWadDIY
Over the years I have towed multiple large boats for a local dealership and the rear is sagging and the front is bouncing a little more than usual.
@@markself3678 Ahhh. Yes. Towing will cause multiple issues over time. I don’t have any videos to help with suspension.
Latex gloves are a good way to keep from compromising the new bulb with the oils from your skin.
Great video btw!!
Agreed!
I have a 2008 Tundra and just installed the panel he took off because it was missing when I bought it. The push pins and the bottom of that panel I installed are completely different than what his 2007 had.
Very interesting. I haven’t heard that before. I wonder if they’re different because the previous owner changed them.
Great vid! Very articulate. Question. Do you have, or are you aware of a vid showing how to remove a 2008 Tundra front bumper? It is a chrome bumper. Attempting to "push out" a small dent. Thanks for any help.
I haven’t removed my bumper yet so I don’t have a video for it. Sorry.
Don't own this car but still watched it lol
😂😂 it’s always great to know how to change that fog light bulb just incase you are ever in an emergency and need them on the Tundra you find sitting around.
Need y'all's help today. Dec. 13 2020.
What do know about the Tundra 6 Cylinder 2007?? Thx
Sorry I can’t help you much there.
How well do they light up the sides of the road in wet or foggy conditions?
Great!
What’re those trim buttons called again and did you ever find that link so I can begin with new ones?
Check the video description. I liked them on there!
Are you running a leveling kit or spacers to run 295/70r18?
Great question. I have a 2.5” Rough Country leveling kit with 1” blocks in the back.
I also removed the mud guards on the front fenders and slightly bent the skid plate to avoid rubbing in reverse.
My prewire in my 07 tundra doesn’t fit the after market switch. What can I do?
Buy the correct lamp. If it doesn’t fit you have the wrong model.
While this video was helpful, when you put the panel back on, the top of it was supposed to tuck under the panel above it in the wheel well.
Wow, great catch. I didn’t even notice. I’ll record a follow up video. Thanks.
The other evening I noticed both my fog lights are not working what is the probability of it being the fuse?
If they both went out at the same time I would say it’s a fuse for sure.
@@TightWadDIY I figured as much...gonna check it.
I just got a 2012 tundra but my driver side fog light panel isn’t there. Trying to find a replacement but I can’t. Any idea where I can find one?
A junk yard is probably your best bet. Check eBay too
@@TightWadDIY not even sure what to search for haha
@@patrickgibson8368 Are you talking about the panel inside the fender well that covers access to the back of the fog light?
I figured it out. Thanks for your help! It was a Front fender splash assembly
@@patrickgibson8368 Great!
almost got it right. You didn't tuck it back right. Other than that, great video.
Yeah. Realized that later. Thanks for the heads up.
@@TightWadDIY No problem. I wasn't trying to come across rude. I hope you didn't take it that way.
So the reason you don't touch the glass part is because your fingers release grease and those bulbs run really hot. The grease will burn the glass.
Yes.
@@TightWadDIY It was a statement because you didn't explain why, not a question, but thanks for confirming
Wrong size clips and description for 2010 platinum Sequoia
Sorry about that.
@@TightWadDIY Dude, you made a good video, no reason to be sorry at all, just an FYI for the 2010 sequoia platinum owners :)
@@TightWadDIY No need, thx for the video
