    I just change the bulb and I am 70, if I can do it, anyone can, thanks to you tutorial. My Toyota Corolla is 2006 and after I separated the filter, I realize what was behind it was the high beam bulb,, so I put the pin for the filter back. The only problem was the space left between the battery and the side of the car is very narrow, good thing I have very narrow hands. No problem taking the bulb out but a bit putting it back in, again the space. I guess a person with big hands, he/she probably would have to take the battery out. Thank you again. I can erase this on my bucket list :)

    Thank you for posting this! It took five minutes to change both of my low beam bulbs on my 2004 Corolla. I found that I didn't need to move the hose for my left headlight, maybe because my hands are smaller? Whatever the reason, I'm happy that I could do it myself instead of spending all the time and money at a shop!

  • @malcolmkogut
    @malcolmkogut 8 лет назад +11

    FIVE STARS. Excellent video. Easy to understand. I didn't need to pull out the air filter hose to access my low beam bulb. Some people may need to move the battery clamp if they have larger hands.

    @gak2173 6 лет назад +1

    Nice vid - I hope my son watched it, he was pulled over last night for a burnt light. I sent him the link so he could see how this is done and clear his fixit ticket. One thing I'd add, replace bulbs in pairs if you can, they dim with age, so take care of them both and enjoy the benefit of bright lights at night!
    Thanks Jason.

  • @Rondogardener
    @Rondogardener 8 лет назад +4

    Great video, concise, to the point, and very illustrative. I might add that you should never touch the new bulb glass with bare hands because skin oil will burn onto the bulb and greatly shorten bulb life. Now I can do my daughter's replacement in her Toyota. Thanks!

  • @richrh5055
    @richrh5055 9 лет назад +6

    Thanks a million! I did it the way you described. I replaced the low beam bulb on the driver( battery) side in 3 minutes. I didn't even have to move the air filter unit. Thank god I ran into your video. When I first saw the others showing all kinds of chassis dismantling, I really thought I should take my 2005 corolla to a mechanic!! You not only saved me some money but more importantly the time!!!!!

    @ResurrectionRefuge 8 лет назад

    Finally, a helpful RUclips video that cuts straight to the point. My headlight is fixed and *I saved over $60* I would've been charged for labor to have a car mechanic fix it for me. Thank you!

    • @ResurrectionRefuge
      @ResurrectionRefuge 8 лет назад

      *****
      Yeah, the sad part (for them) is if they only charged 5 or 10 bucks for the labor, I wouldn't have even thought twice, but when they tried to charge almost 80 bucks for the bulb and labor, I was like, "Um, I think I'll do it myself."

    • @ResurrectionRefuge
      @ResurrectionRefuge 8 лет назад

      Correct you are! My grandma and I go to different Toyota service centers, and we are both shocked at how much they charge.

    Watched this video 4 minutes ago (I had already bought a replacement), and I'm finished and back upstairs writing this review. Your video gave me the confidence to attempt it - but it was SIMPLE. Local shop wanted $25 to do it, the bulb was $10. Note, there was no reason to remove the air filter valve - maybe better access on 2008 model? Just reached right in and switched it out. Thanks!

    right on! thank you so much for this tutorial. i ended up having to take the battery out on my 2006 corolla to gain easy access to the light, but it wasn't a big deal. there are videos that show you how to do that as well. i love how often when things can cost a lot of money to have someone else do it, a person can be motivated to do it themselves, learn something in the process, and save some bucks. once again, thank you so much!

If I weighed 100 lbs. soaking wet, I could probably change the bulb myself, but unfortunately I'm a fatty and no way will my arm squeeze in far enough. So, I'm still going to have to take the battery out or else hire Gumby to do the job for me.
