I just replaced both light assemblies on a 2007 Corolla, it took about three hours. I was surprised how easy the grill and bumper came off. A bolt that holds on the right headlight broke off and I had to drill it out. It is a special bolt that I had to order from the Toyota dealer. I had a difficult time getting the new light assemblies back in the car and I broke one of the headlight bulbs (no big deal). Your video saved me a lot of money, thanks.
What's different with your 07 model compared to the model in the video? I own the facelift too
Bro, you are the Bob Ross of headlights. Soft even tones and chill. This was a great guide. Thanks man.
Lol thx
I used this guide to change the headlight assembly on a 2003 Corolla. Thank you.
Glad to help
Thanks for making this easy for the rest of us home mechanics.
No problem 👍🏼
Now that's how you make a do it yourself video!
Awesome 👌 just needed to know if I had to remove the bumper. You da man! 👊
Thank you! You don’t have to fully remove the front bumper, you can just pop the top clips and pull the bumper to reveal the headlight bolts to remove it. If you remove the bumper, it’ll be easier to see though.
I remember my 62Merc Meteor. Took off three screws, pull head light off, replace, three screws back on.
Much appreciated. It helped me with 2002 Corolla Hatchback, seems that all of them are made the same.
Just did this today what a difference. Thanks for the video.
Yes it is. Glad the video helped
You can just about tear any Toyota down to the bare frame with a single 10mm socket.
Great video, very informative, thank you, It helped me with the removal of my head light on a Toyota Allion, A real pain having to take the bumper and grill off thou.
Thanks for this. It felt good to achieve it, although took me 5 hours altogether.
5 hours? why? bro I was thinking of doing this before work tomorrow I thought it would take me like 3 hours tops
@@diavolow9 when most of the screws and bolts are practically welded together with rust, you can't just unthread them the way the video shows. Removing things that have rusted together is a freaking major project, and I wish that the video maker would have addressed this.
@@TomReichner I did it in about an hour and half maybie less but I also had help and all the right tools.
@@diavolow9 you must have a Corolla that is in fairly sound condition. If, like me, your Corolla has been beat to hell off road, and banged into a lot of stuff, and the body has been wracked this way and crunched that way, and you've never bothered to repair any of the damage, then nothing lines up properly, and getting the screws out and getting everything back together again is a real nightmare.
@@TomReichner o yes that was probably it I bought it last year for my son it had 100,000 miles and the lady was the only owner and I got it for 3200. it has 126,000 now and had not put nothing Into it but regular maitnance.
You don't have to take the grill off. Just unbolt it and it comes off with the bumper as a whole piece.
Thank you!
Thanks so much! This was super helpful and covered all the things that a newbie like me needed!
Great video! Made the job very easy. Thank you!
Did you reattach the side clip to the headlight , I was waiting to see how you put it back on?
Raymond perez you just snap it back in by pushing it back in hole.
He must have because without that clip you cannot screw in the lower head light bracket.
I'm getting Bob Ross vibes, thanks man!
Are all headlight assembly interchangeable between all 03-08 ce, le, and s models?
Fyi, if anyone wants to see some additional end results, the amazon reviews have some pics. Just follow link in description.
GREAT video! Job done with your help :)
The "clip" is called a captive nut, or a speednut.
Very help thank u and go kolbalt my brothers are techs and they use the kobalt line of 3/8 and 1/2 impact that say it’s funny thier snap on people at work are always asking them to use thier kobalt impacts
Thank you
Do the new ones fog/cloudy after a while?
Excellent et très utile. pas de surprise, et facile à remonter! merci, tank you, very usefull !:)
Helpful video. Thank you.
Sir just quick question is the headlight size same for Asian car version if yes then I need a pair for my Corolla in Pakistan .
I love the lights design
good video, the headlight looks good, you recommend them, some aftermarket get water, thanks
Were you able to but the bumper back on with just one person or did you need someone to hold it for you while you tightened the bolts?
You can put it back on with one person. You can have it snap back into place and then have it screwed on.
That’s great, thanks very much.
Good video, thank you.
Great video
What’s the timeframe for this job to be done?
I want to do this before sunset leaving me with 1.5 to 2 hours.
Is that enough?
Yes that should be enough time
thanks for the video. how much trouble was it to adjust the beams on the side where the battery is? Noticed you switched to the other side at the end of the video.
Wasn’t bad, the adjustment screws were right there.
@@NutzAboutBolts cool
The screw that holds the bumper and grill... Mine is completely rusted. My stupid friend stripped it. But we can't get at it because of the plastic grommet thing. Does the plastic part come off by itself? Or will pulling on it also rip the screw out?
You can pull off the rub part carefully with a little force and use a vice grip on the screw. I had the same problem but the screw stripped because of the rust.
Thank you!!!
Hi there can you tell me all the tools I’d need, it would make it easier if I had a list.
It’s in the description box
How did you get that 05-08 grille to fit on the 04?
The screw(s) that you take out so easily at 1:24 do not come out anywhere near as easily in real life situations with very old Corollas. Mine are pretty much "welded" in place with rust, and will have to be drilled out, and then a new nut welded onto the sheet metal on the bottom. A really big freaking deal to do. I think only people with Corollas in newer condition, like under 200,000 miles, will be able to take those screws out the way you do.
Mine came out like butter 260k still countin
@@daboiikev6955 that's great to know. I should buy new screws to replace my old ones because the rust on them is so heavy they were practically welded to the female threads
How long did it take you to replace both of them?
Great video. Do you have a video on putting the bumper back on?
No sorry, we might have to do one since we don’t have a video on it lol
Just play the video backwards!
Great vid, keep up the good work. BTW where'd you order the headlight piece from?
I put a link in the description box for the headlight assembly. :)
how much it cost u nd country of origin
.. and then the bumper cover just magically goes back on. No need to show you folks that.
Damm you have to remove all that just for the headlight ????
Beautifully engineered cars but simple stuff like this is rough for example with replacing fuses where you'd have to remove the driver seat
... or you could have saved yourself a ton of money by taking the headlights out as you did, sanding the lenses and spraying them with a couple of coats of clear coat. Total cost : one can of clear coat.
Where you from
Palace Rs
Someone get this guy a coffee. Trying to put me asleep here.
Stupid fackin design to take the whole bumper to replace headlamps...
plzzz
Mine would not get changed this is too much work😕
