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*
I have just recently purchased a 2007 Toyota Tundra. I found this very helpful. I subscribed to your channel and will refer for any further projects with my truck. Thank you very much!
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. 😊
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.
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.
You may have misread that. It’s a 17 yo car with 42 thousand 500 hundred miles total. Not rolled over. That’s like 3 thousand per year, not even close to broke on. It still smells new. It will out last me!
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 ..
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
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.

A junk yard is probably your best bet. Check eBay too

Latex gloves are a good way to keep from compromising the new bulb with the oils from your skin.

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.
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.

Verrry helpful. Geeee could they have made it more difficult?!!?
Exactly! I am always annoyed when the fog light goes out!
I replaced the plugs with stainless screws
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.
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.
