Hello,

I have a 2012 SR cab chassis - One of my headlights is damaged so need to take it out and replace. Is it easy?

Looks like i remove grill, then undo light? Anyone know where I can find a guide?

Also Looking to put a second battery - Under Bonnet or under tray (cab chassis)?

Does the workshop manual cover removing headlight?

Remove the grill and front bumper. Ya could get away with just releasing the side of the bumper with the damaged light. Bit of a pain I know, there is one bolt behind there holding the corner of the light.

I hope I'm not stating the obvious but, looks into getting a Hanes manual, they worth their weight in gold.

I appreciate you saying about Haynes manual because I did look at that, but wasn't sure about what it showed you or wether it is worth it.

My first hilux and a bit of work to do, lot to learn. Sounds like it's exactly what I need.

Ordering one now.
