Hi everyone!! The OEM Toyota part number for the assembly I replaced is 815500R090 - the passenger side outside assembly - NOT the one on the tailgate. The driver side is 815600R090. From most Toyota parts places I've checked, this part costs about $225 now.
Great video. I had some trouble because the cable connected to the boy would not extend out through the hole. However there is a little square piece that pops out from inside the trunk that gives you direct access to the cable, that did the trick.
Fantastic! I've heard a couple of comments from people with later Rav4s say similar things so they must have slightly altered the way the connection routs. Thanks for the info!
The giddy laugh at 10:30 is me on pretty much every little DIY car project too!! Thank you for the video sir!! I usually do all the work on my 2015 BMW 335 and man, these Toyota's are a cake walk compared to that thing. Awesome!
.slight variation. My part came without electronics and wiring. Needed to attach the existing globe and electronics. A secure Torx screwdriver was required for two screws, but worked out fine. Thankyou for the video, would not have had the confidence or known where to start otherwise.
Thank-you Sir for making the video! The only mistake you showed us in this helpful video was that you need to wear some work gloves!! I don't know about other's...as for myself, I like to work on my car's often and If I don't wear gloves, I will get my skin sliced up very easily and also no leverage with moving/picking up stuff when i'm not protected. Perhaps I just have super weak hands!!
Thanks for this great video Dave. Pulling the power cord out to the connector was scary as W#%$T. The cord was really tight, so I started to undo the lights and just switch the cover, but two of the bulbs are held in place with screws I couldn't get out. So I got brave and went for the cord again and made it happen.
Hi my light works but just one of the red lens has a crack. Do you know if you have to replace the whole assembly or can you buy and replace the red lens?
Hi! Unfortunately, unless you can find an aftermarket seller that has the lenses and also a tool to remove/replace it (and seal it), you're kinda stuck replacing the entire unit.
Surely!! 815500R090 is the original OEM part number from Toyota. Thanks for watching!! Be aware that's the right-side (passenger) *outside* assembly that is the one I replaced in the video (not the part that goes on the tailgate).
My left hand taillight needs replacing and I got as far as taking the old light off the body, but the electrical cord inside is attached to the body and I cannot get it to come loose!! It really looks as though I need to pull the inside molding off the body to get at the electrical cable! Any suggestions?
The cord is secured by a rubber grommet to prevent water intrusion. *Carefully* pry that grommet loose to free the cord. Be patient and you'll get it out. You don't have to pull off the body molding.
No, no, you do not understand. The white connnecting clip at the end of the cable, and the inside cljp that it connects to are attached to the body, behind the molding. The cable does not just pull out revealing the connecting clips like it did for your vehicle. Thoughts?
@@olbluehair1 If it's essentially the same vehicle, then, I cannot think of why there would be a substantial difference in how the tail light is mounted or why the connector would be attached to the body. It really should be a mirror image of the other side. I can't fathom removal of the interior panel is truly necessary. I do recall thinking I had to pull the cord our further than I needed to disconnect the light, then realized I had *just enough* to disconnect the light and replace it. I will look at some other diagrams and let you know if I find something different.
Yikes... The moment he scratched the crap out of the fender. Probably could've just grabbed the right side of it and push it backward... Gently. Instead of yanking it out... Just pull it back.

LOL Fantastic!! I think all of us have been there!! Thanks for the kind words and appreciate the fun feedback! Thanks for watching!

Thank you, Dave! I’m having to do this on my Mom’s 2020 and this is going to make it super easy!!

I normally do wear gloves if I'm doing things like changing oil, working on grease-covered parts, things like that. Thanks for watching!
Mr.you are made my life easier i really appreciate. My hit something on the parking lot...
👍 Awesome!
👍 Thanks, Dave . Good for help everyone

Thanks so much. It's even better when you were not the person who did it.
Thanks you for this video and Happy New Year.
Perfect I just damage my tail light now I can replace it thanks
Super helpful! Thank you Dave
Fantastic and thanks!!
Thanks! Saved 138$ labor for a 3 minute job!
FANTASTIC!! I LOVE 💕 hearing stories like this. Thanks for sharing!!
Nice casio!!
Thanks! Had it a long time LOL.
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for your video, they are super helpful! I need to replace my tailight too, can you tell me the part no. and how much you paid for it?
Sure! The part number for the right *side* tail light is 815500R090. The cost from Toyota (OEM part) was $282.
@@DIYDaveOK Thank you so much!
@@sapphirelovespj My pleasure! Keep in mind there's an outside and inside tail light, so be sure you're getting the correct one. Thanks for watching!
@@DIYDaveOK Thanks for the reminder, appreciate your kindness.
Thank you for the video!
You are just welcome and thanks for watching!
Using a plastic pry tool might've helped to remove that clip you had trouble getting off.
Very possible!

Hey thanks for the video! Did you buy your tail light OEM? If so, what is the part number for the tail light?
Surely!! 815500R090 is the original OEM part number from Toyota. Thanks for watching!! Be aware that's the right-side (passenger) *outside* assembly that is the one I replaced in the video (not the part that goes on the tailgate).
Exelent gteat video thank you for sharing 🙏
The connector is really deep in the car and I don’t think im able to disconnect it without removing the whole inside of the car
if it's the same model year RAV4 I can't imagine it being that much different?
Mine was like that too. You can take out the light bulb and the other side of the wires instead.

What's the name of that part
That's the passenger outside tail light assembly. Official Toyota OEM part number is in the pinned comment.

A 2020 Toyota rav4 xle.

I'm not sure what you're talking about? I didn't scratch anything?
