small lights front.. replacing both?

Postby Balloontyres on Tue, 20 Nov 2018 2:50 +0000

small light seems broken, I went to Toyota and asked for new but they didn't have it. they said they would order one..

I said no order 2 please because the other one will have to be changed as well.. They looked at me like I was crazy.. "why replace something that still works"

so I wonder am I the silly one or they? I always learned to replace both tail lights when one is broken.. so thought same is for the front..

They're much fun to change. Get replacements or leds from ebay or supercrap, probably only cost a tenth of the price. :D

You do not have to remove the front bumper!
Just some of the "plastic rivets" form the inner wheel arch, then you could reach the lights from underneath. can be done in 30min but its "a child work" to do - you have to have small hands.....
