DIY: Toyota Sienna 2004-2010 tail light assembly and bulbs replacement

In this video, I will show you how to replace the entire tail light assembly and also how to replace the bulbs.

[@fweeps]

Thank you for the short, clear video on how to this. Thanks for actually showing the whole process without a bunch of quick cuts. Nice work!

[@SA-mi4jh]

Thank you! These instructions are on the spot. I could not figure what to do after removing the 2 bolts. Telling the socket size was time saving too. I wish more people would consider this in proving instructions.

[@jamesperlow4941]

Thank you! I am blind but your directions were so easy it was a snap have a great day :-)

[@suzanneiseminger5413]

Thanks! I got the bolts out but didn't know there were two pins. I was looking for more bolts. Saved me from bunging up the cowling.

[@linguisticness]

I'm about to try replacing both the tail light assembly AND the reverse light/inner assembly, which I think it going to be a LOT harder and more involved. glad to see at least ONE thing on the Sienna that's pretty straight-forward to DIY!

[@AlexzandradelaIglesia]

Thank you for creating this video! It was so well done. I was able to follow along and change my own light bulb instead of going to the service center and paying a fortune. Blessings.

[@XSNargon]

Wow. I was getting really nervous about doing my own maintenance on my car, but this was so simple. Plus it was very concise and covered everything I needed to know. Thanks!

[@ronjones4069]

Thank you. You saved me a ton of work. I may have broken the tail light assembly without your help. And thanks for showing just a few seconds of your removing the bolts and not showing 5 minutes of you removing a bolt with distorted rap music in the background!!! Thanks, we know how to remove bolts. HA HA Well done, thank you very much.

[@Zendog500]

Thanks for showing bulb replacement at 2:12 mins !

[@BrandonTylerGoogle]

Yep that was the part I was looking for

[@cefoye]

So we don't HAVE to replace the whole assembly unless it's damaged? We can just get the bulbs? HUGE relief!

[@gerardweatherby3941]

great video, down to the correct socket size. Thank you.

[@royegan2139]

Excellent step by step instructions. Very easy to follow. Nice job!

[@Machtyn]

I had to watch in 1.25 speed, but the information is all there. Thanks!

[@ffpp1399]

One of my pins (lower one) was corroded and difficult to remove. It broke when I pulled. I put a bit of grease on the pins when installing the new one. Also the bulb was different. 7528 as some PP mentioned. 2005 Sienna LE. Thanks for the video!

[@atticus4u]

Extremely helpful! Thanks for sharing that.

[@pumpupthevolume4775]

I was trying to pull it straight back thinking there were prongs on the front that slid into slots to keep it in. The pins require pulling out rather than back like you say. Thanks!!!

[@TGFewet00b]

Thanks, Great, straight and to the point.

[@lbcsv]

Thank you. You're a lifesaver! Well, maybe a taillight saver since after I watched your video, I didn't break my second taillight.

[@armenmartirosyan2672]

Cool!!! That's the short and understandable! Bravo man!

[@llathrum]

Thanks I might have broken my light without this

[@Daklee928]

Great job Teacher! You made it look so easy. Thank you.

[@darnyank1]

Thanks!

[@reigelsjourney2016]

[@jmj227]

Very helpful! Thanks!

[@andreyemelyanenko5230]

Thanks for your advice 👍

[@rajeevanv274]

Thank you sir. This helped a lot..

[@GodSaveTheClothes]

thank you so much ... very helpful and easy to follow

[@chrisevans5764]

ty soooo much made it easy tytyty

[@marcosfunes1806]

Thank for your help!!

[@davidwooten3430]

Thanks it was easy the only issue I came across was having no slack in the wire plug on the car side. I had to release it with a long screwdriver then release the clip on the bulb side to get enough slack to reconnect it.

[@vqphan]

Thanks

[@glen58316]

They say one shouldn't touch those light bulbs with bare fingers. One needs to use a cloth or paper towel or vinyl gloves when handling the bulbs.

[@vuaeco]

That's an old myth! Plus, my fingers never have oil. I don't cook so that leaves automotive oil. But I always clean my hands with soap after an oil change so I'm good... I'm just kidding!
Well, this "might" be true to high intensity halogen head light or halogen projector lamp (which gets really hot). There are warnings on those projector lamps not to touch them while you're changing them. For automotive tail light, not so much. Still, nobody has ever proven this the case nevertheless. Maybe Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage should have done this myth before they dismissed the show.

[@vickieray5947]

My 2005 Sienna has a different bulb assembly and requires a 7528 bulb

[@NoUglyOneYet]

2004 also.

[@rudyho3790]

Tell bulb numbers...not all year Sienna are the same!! 😎👌

[@davidwooten3430]

Usually your parts store tell you that

[@curtscafe9497]

Leave it to Toyota to do something unexpected

[@martintramil8084]

Thanks!
