I am a 63 year old female and have never done this before. Was tough and I was scared to break something but I did it. Thanks so much for the excellent video 😊

[@lcorvette]

Yay for you!!! I LOVE TH-cam!!!

[@jamesharris184]

​@@lcorvettewell done indeed save me the 20 bucks the mechanic wants for each light

[@_taylor_v]

"now that was kind of easy, but the first time I tried, it was hard to pull it out." THANK YOU! That's exactly what I needed to know. Every other video shows the bulb coming out with almost zero effort. I had to pull really hard to get them out and kept thinking I was missing a step and about to break something

[@cheyennefong9069]

Ty for making this! RAV4 owners unite!

[@cincyai]

Thanks stranger, didn't even need a screwdriver for my 18'. Came off very easily. Much easier than how it looks.

[@prettygirlswagg1236]

I am a 23 year old woman who knows NOTHINGGG about cars. I mean zip but with this video I went out and changed both of my headlights in like 5 minutes. Thank you for your service sir🫡

[@timrogers3714]

Detatch the bulb from the housing first! Then you can separate the bulb from the wiring. It’s much easier this way. I did it today and it took me 3 minutes.

[@greyhound166]

The screwdriver technique was something I could find nowhere else; I did not want to shatter the plastic clip so I appreciated the idea of using a screwdriver to remove the plastic power sheath.

[@tjjones-xj7kq]

Currently it's 2°F outside with feel like temp of -15°F......I didn't want to be waisting time figuring this out. Your video saved me from freezing my butt of and possibly trying to rush it with cold plastic parts. Thanks for the video! Btw my driver light was easy to remove. However, passenger side required a flat head.

[@jasminegooden3079]

Thank you, my headlight on the passenger side went out a couple days ago, I was furious because I thought it was an LED assembly, but then I found out it was a halogen light...so now you've showed me what to do and I will do it ❤️

[@tfrizzelle84]

I did this twice thanks to this video

[@daniellerobinson4773]

Appreciate you making this video I was able to change my head light with no issue thank you

[@mxpxballerina]

Thank you for this extremely helpful tutorial! This is the second time I’ve referred to this in order to replace my headlights. Wouldn’t say I’m a “handy” individual but the confidence boost in being able to do this myself was awesome. This time around, I picked up one of those headlight flashlights and wow! Made it so much easier. Thanks again for the opportunity to not have to hire someone for once!!

[@bunmisalami5896]

Thank you so much for this. I went to auto zone to buy the bulbs thinking i could get them to help me change the bulbs. The man refused said something about to many screws whatever that means. I got home and decided nothing i cant find on TH-cam, saw your video and i got it done. So proud of myself. Thank you so much🎉

[@cheyennefong9069]

Best video - was super simple to follow!!!!
I can def confirm that it was much easier to twist the bulb off, then pull the connection off!

[@chynabranch2858]

Second time i have used this video. THANK YOU

[@cjc7554]

Nice detailed video. Thank you for adding the screwdriver alternative for unhooking the bracket. I was having difficulty getting off until I watched your video. Now I see how it works. 👍🏼😂

[@kb3292]

Thanks a lot man, I was struggling until I watched this vid

[@jdawg1488]

How did you struggle ?

[@allabouttrcy]

Helpful video. Mine were hard to uncle too but instead of using my tiny screwdriver to pry the bulb covers off, per the video, I used the handle to apply a little more pressure to push down the clip and it worked. 🎉

[@natepicker436]

Thanks for the honest review. I have a 2016, and you demonstrated how that outside plastic thing won't budge even when you "press down" on it. It's tricky but the recommended short screwdriver is also correct. Once off, replacement is a breeze. Thanks again for the help.

[@tantan1626]

Thank you sir. I just replaced my headlight by following your video. Awesome job man!!👏🏾👏🏾

[@kylemadej9174]

Just changed the headlight in 2 minutes thanks to your video. Appreciate it!

[@mariapilarboylen2098]

Thank you so much for this video, been single means to learn to do certain things like this to save $40❤😂😂😂😊

[@sethmorgan6693]

Thank you! That screwdriver was the difference-maker! God bless!!

[@ariyakhamvongsa3396]

Thank you for making this video. It helped me remove the electrical connector which is the hardest part of the whole bulb replacement.

[@nyieshaneel1580]

Thank you! That was really helpful. Just replaced both my RAV4 headlights within a few minutes. I did need to use a screwdriver to help pull the electrical connector off. So thanks for the tip.

[@tomsendelbach7871]

There is a detailed description of how to do this in your owner's manual on page 596. You want to screw the bulb out first and then disconnect the wiring harness. Great video!

[@fragbert66]

That hint about using a flathead on the harness really helped. Thanks!

[@weloveleomikeytmntmlpl.2670]

Thanks for this how-to. I was able to get both my headlights changed with my teenage sons help and your video

[@Swapnil09Patil]

Thank you, you just saved me a trip to mechanic. Wasn't easy to unplug as you pointed out but screwdriver trick worked

[@traceysteele8293]

Thanks SOOO much for supplying the part number in your description-way to go!

[@9multani]

Great Video and with excellent presentation. Thank You !

[@yutubetom]

Thank you! Replaced both headlights in a couple of minutes!

[@jackie4588]

THANK YOU so much! Great instructional video.

[@dakotas.6092]

Great video, thank you! It was my first time doing this repair and you made it easy!

[@danielross]

Thanks for this and for saying “the first time I did this …” Helps so much!

[@daniak7468]

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed to see. It’s even the same color as my Rav 4 😀

[@taylor_vance]

Thanks! Really helpful got it changed in seconds

[@erbrferg]

Thank you for having the bulb size in the description! Meant I could buy the bulb last night. None of the websites I went to wanted to just tell me what to get.

[@mattvee4827]

Thank you much. My bulb just went out & I’m sure this info will help a lot!

[@E7T39E]

So helpful thank you! Gotta find the right bulb then try it soon

[@pC-ye9cf]

Thanks so much for this! Great to know how much pressure you need to put to get it out without breaking it. Gentleman!

[@toyaewell5015]

Great video!!! Thank you so much. I’ll be going to Autozone today 😊

[@user-uw9zm7jo5p]

I was having problems getting harness off too. Thanks for screwdriver tip. It worked. Only video I found with this tip

[@borinchan2899]

Ty, this was simple and very helpful.

[@GroverGobananas]

Worked perfectly. Excellent video. Thank you for this!!

[@KiretaKai]

Done in less than 10 minutes! (Would have been 5 if I had my screwdriver handy.)
Personally, I couldn't get the right angle to get the harness off the bulb while everything was in, so I turned the bulb and tugged it out while it was attached. (Watch the wires!)
THEN, I could use my screwdriver to get the harness off the bulb. Then, popped the bulb back in and attached the harness back. Easy peasy! Thank you for this vid!

[@mmessi72]

Super simple and helpful. Thank you!

[@felipejr.zurita8585]

Thanks, I was putting it at the same time

[@jenniferdillinger1325]

Thanks for this! I managed to change both of them with minimal fury. :)

Excellent presentation!!

[@mulan6535]

Very detailed Video. Thank you

[@charlespoper4074]

Thanx for the effort 👍As with your experience I found it hard to remove the bulb assembly from the auto body mount point.
One note I think the job goes easier if one removes the bulb assembly from the frame first then separates the bulb from the wiring harness.

[@jjredington]

This step helped me big time. Thank you for adding to this very helpful video!

[@roadrevs]

My sincerest condolences.
Glad I was able to help a little during these tough times you’re going through.

[@Booker255]

thank you!!

[@NaveenKumar-ov2xk]

Thanks for info. I have question. Last year I replaced both bulbs upgraded to led lights. Now led bulb gone. I tried to put regular halogen bulbs. Some how they dont fit. Looks like led bulbs sockets wont come out when i took led bulbs out. That three star or tips around bulbs. If you have suggestions please let me knows.

[@manikaggarwal2018]

Super helpful

[@Golden31Eagle]

I'm assuming you took the connector cable off first because of having one hand but it's way easier if you just take the bulb out first then pull the red connection off.... Trust me

[@iamiam7]

That’s what I ended up doing on my girlfriends car last night. Video was still very helpful.

[@ChazzLyons]

Thank you....

[@angelocruz2594]

Thanks man
