    Tools/Supplies Needed:
    -phillips screwdriver
    -long rod or standard screwdriver
    -10mm socket
    -3” extension 3/8" drive
    -3/8" drive ratchet
    Procedure:
    First start by opening the hood, you’ll need to gain access to the fasteners for the parking lights and grill clips.
    Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the retaining screws for the parking lights.
    Pop up the mounting tang as it clips over the grill for the parking lights. There is also a clip on the fender side which needs to be disconnected.
    Disconnect the electrical plug.
    Do the same for the opposite side too, first by removing the screw.
    Pull the light from it’s location.
    And finally disconnect the electrical plug.
    For the grill, there is 4 clips along the tip and 5 clips along the bottom which need to be disconnected. The top clips can be accessed with a screwdriver, the center needs to be pushed down in order to disconnect them. When disconnect, pull that area of the grill back to completely disconnect it.
    The bottom clips, you’ll need a longer screwdriver or a metal rod to release the clips.
    The two remaining clips are on the outer bottom edges the grill clips into the lights. You’ll need to go under the truck to disconnect these, reach up behind the bumper and release the clips. There is one on each side, so two in total.
    Now remove the grill and place it somewhere safe.
    Here are the various clips on the radiator support, you can see the plastic inserts in the rectangular holes. There is 4 clips along the top and 5 along the bottom, this includes the 2 under the headlights.
    Behind the grill, here are the clips again. 4 along the top, 5 along the bottom.
    To remove the lights, using a 10mm socket with a 3” extension, remove the two nuts on the outside of the light.
    Then remove the 10mm bolt by the radiator side.
    Push the light assembly towards the center of the truck to disconnect the studs and tab on the inner bracket.
    Pull it out and then disconnect the light plug.
    Do the same for the opposite side, remove the 10mm bolt on the inner bracket.
    Then the 10mm nuts on the outside.
    Push the light towards the center of the truck to disconnect the studs and mounting tab.
    Disconnect the light plug.
    For installation, it’s basically in reverse of removal.
    You can connect the bulb plugs when the lights are out or when it’s back in the truck. There is enough room in behind the lights to gain access.
    Put the lights back into place, you’ll need to align the studs and the tab on the inner support.
    Install the fasteners.
    Another angle with the opposite side.
    Clip the light back into place.
    Install the fasteners.
    Plug in the bulb connector.
    Align the clips for the grill, then clip it into place. You’ll need to push against each of the clip locations on the outside of the grill, then give the pull test to ensure it’s locked into place.
    Reconnect the electrical connector for the signal light.
    Push it into place.
    Then install the screw.
    Do the same for the opposite side. Plug the connector back in.
    Clip the light back into place.
    And then install the retaining screw.

    Oh dang. I’ve always just done the replacements without removing the grill. You can access the headlights by just opening hood- pulling off the rubber housing and replacing bulb then just reattaching the rubber gasket.

    Well ok then!
    The long rod tool to release the lower grill clips from the top was a great tip!

    • @bf3949

      No access to the clips under the headlights; a sharp pull on the corners of the grill released the hidden clips. Unnecessary to crawl under bumper at all.
      Silicone spray all clips prior to reinstalling. All plastic fasteners are brittle.

    Watched the vid. Started removing the grill on my 2001 Tecoma. Plastic pieces started breaking. Couldn't get the grill off. Was afraid to pull off the rubber piece surrounding the back of the headlight for fear that it would be too brittle. Took it to my garage. They replaced the lamp without having to take off the grill. Just unplug the light, pull off the rubber piece, replace the bulb (they used electrical lubricant because we are in a hot climate). They spent a good ten minutes ziptying the grill back on because the clips were not usable again. They said they often have to ziptie the grills back on because those clips break or fall in. Didn't charge me. So you don't have to remove the grill to replace the headlight. I had a feeling, but thought I'd follow a video instead. Damaged my vehicle.

      There is no such thing as adjusting headlights. You can change the headlights as shown here or you can change the headlight bulbs but that’s all you can do to “adjust” it.

    • @ToyotaKTM
      @ToyotaKTM 3 месяца назад +1

      There is a stud near the bulb wires that adjusts the beam up / down.

  • @jeffwick1439

    To change the bulb you can just snap the rubber cap off and 3 prong unplug the bulb YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE ALL THIS SHOWN APART!!!!!
