I just replaced the headlights on my sister in law’s Toyota (276,000 miles!). I used your video and was 100% successful! Thank you. I felt so satisfied when I was done. Could not have done it without your video!
Great video. By now many (most?) first gen Tacomas need new front lights so this video is a great service to the community.
I've been putting this off for months because I was afraid of messing it up. After finding and watching your video, I went ahead and replaced my sidelights in 20 minutes! The steps were really simple to follow. Thank you so much!
awesome!! glad it helped!!
Just completed changing both sidelights and both headlight bulbs on my 2004 Tacoma. Your video made it super easy, thank you so much!!!
Just got an entire new set including fog lights, this will be extremely helpful when I install them. Thanks a bunch for the tutorial.
Where'd you buy em from?
Thank you brother for doing this video on UA-cam. It really help first time people who want to replace their headlights. It help me.
Thank you so much for this video. I took the time off from corona to teach myself something new. This video probably saved me $100 by doing it myself. Thanks again!
Very helpful! Made the project very easy for me.
Doing this today! Thank you SO much for this fantastic tutorial. Really well covered, thorough, and helpful!
thank you for watching and commenting!!
Love it already, because you listed the tools needed. I need to do this to my 2002 Toyota Tacoma. Thanks for your time.
Thank you so much for posting this instructional video. It was extremely helpful!
Great video! Very informative! Thank you!
Great video!! One thing I almost missed bolting down new head lights is L-shaped feature has to go thru hole of metal frame. Be patient when unclipping grill to avoid breaking off small clips, I would suggest buying new ones to replace all of them at this point.
Nice video!. Just what I was looking for. Very easy to follow Instructions. Thank You Sir.
About to change mines, thank you for the video
Great job on the time stamps👍 I still watched the whole vid
Dildo Swaggins awesome thanks for watching!!
excellent video. thank you for your help.
Nice clear video. Watched this then bought them from APDTY and it went pretty smoothly.
Great video, replaced my headlights and markers following your lead. One note though, there seems to be no actual "right and left" adjustment. That screw is for mounting only, it screws into plastic with a very course thread, obviously not for adjusting. However, the up and down adjustment was totally necessary on my 2003 Taco. Nice work on the tutorial, thank you!
That's correct, he mistakenly said there is a left/right adjustment. First gen Tacomas only have up/down adjustment which he did correctly show.
Very helpful. Much appreciated
Very good job, I have to get it done my self and I don’t know nothing about, you video helps a lot thank you
Thank you very much super easy to do , was able to do it for the first time
awesome!!, thanks for watching and commenting!!
Great video brother
Very useful video! Thank you !!
Thank you, great video! you saved me time and plastic!
thanks for watching and thanks for the comment
Thanks man, good video. I thought it would be a lot but pretty easy with your help.
great preview of the job. thanks
was working on sidemarkers and got grill exp,and headlights,,thanks
Thanks. Great video. I have that same 2004 Tacoma (Double-cab, and red). 199,000 miles. (And since I'm passing it on to my son, I finally decided to replace the headlight assemblies. Why didn't I do this sooner? Bahahaha!) Peace!
yeah we said the same exact thing, this is one of our employees trucks and the new headlights made the truck look much newer.
Step by step. Thanks a lot!!!
I was gonna just change my headlights but for few dollars more i got the whole kit. Headlight, turn signal lamp, running lamp.
Why do the black pieces move up and down install my new headlights but they move any ideas
Can you buy the tabs for the corner light?
I'm not pointing any fingers here, but shouldn't you not touch ANY bulbs with greasy hands?? In this case it was the side bulbs..... I've always, always used a paper towel when touching the actual glass part of any bulbs. I know for sure in high-dollar bulbs for a range of different applications, it usually even says it on the packaging not to touch the bulb with bare hands, to always use a clean towel or napkin to handle. Just asking, I always thought that to be like an unwritten rule when it comes to any type of bulb .
Jacob Hidalgo your right. Because of the oil from your hands can heat up and melt the glass
yes you are correct, then newer bulbs are much more sensitive to this, the older ones not so much, this is one of our employees vehicles and the bulbs are all still gouda!!
Very interesting. I have an 2002 Tacoma. Dealership said there was no headlight adjustment on my model.
Idontcare_626 according to our data the 2002 models use the same exact headlights, also our catalog shows them as adjustable, so maybe check for yourself to verify, also correct vehicle ride height and tire size and pressure should be considered when accessing headlight adjustment!
thank you, I will learn to work on my 2003 tacoma
I did this and had a bit of trouble. I only bought the headlights and not the markers. I would recommend replacing both. The plastic tabs on the markers snapped off with little resistance, very brittle.
All my lights are working, but the lenses were "fogged". Purchased a RAIN-X headlight restoration kit. AMAZING the results! HOW MUCH did those new units cost?
With filament type bulbs, may I suggest wearing latex gloves. Touching and handling a new bulb leaves oils from our fingers and when that gets hot a few times a sort of crud builds up. This causes the bulb to run hotter than it should and will shorten the lifespan. This does not apply to LED type lamps. Thanks for the tutorial. Well done.
Dealing with an old vehicle you will notice that the plastic clips and tabs are brittle as fuck. Any pressure will result in breakage. Have extra clips on hand
Oh and very nice video! Very helpful! Very thorough! Excellent job!
Do I need to disconnect battery?
Should I disconnect the battery?
Alot of my grill pins broke during this process. But other than that great video. All i need is to adjust them and hit the road
Had same problems with side maker not going in pain.
I broke one of the tabs when reinstalling it.
Toyota’s require a little banging for things to match up together properly 🤙🏽
Plastic tab that holds it in from topped snapped off hope that isn’t an issue
So where's the headlight adjustment link!?
What i really really wanted to know I what size socket is used for the up and down adjustment. A tiny hex head is not enough info....i am gonna have to purchase a socket and do not want to sound like the proverbial clueless backyard mechanic.
You know if you take apart a hard drive and take the magnets out then put em on the horn in the right place you can make em sound like high pitched screams?…. Kinda funny to do to a buddy without them knowing so when they get pissed and use the horn it goes off like an old school trolly or something.. lol.
Amigo vendeme la toyota tacoma mandame tu número de celular si
you can buy new headlights for 45 bucks a pair on ebay..why go thru all that bullshit of trying to clean them..
