- Here is a video of how to remove/replace the license plate bulb in your Toyota Venza. I do know there is ALSO a way to unscrew 3 screws that will remove the external back plate.

Thank you for the video. I was having a horrible time trying to take the panel off and with your help I can see where to pry the clips.
I used a small 1/2 inch open end wrench to twist the assembly out. Fit perfect!
I LOVE YOU😂 you just resolve my problem 🤣 1/2 inch PERFECT
I LOVE YOU😂 you just resolve my problem 🤣 1/2 inch PERFECT
Thanks for the video. Between that and reading the comments it was easy. I marked the socket with a sharpie before I took it out, so I knew it was going back the same way. Put a little bulb grease on the socket and it turned in with 2 fingers.
After you get the inside panel off, on each side of the bulb is a tab; squeeze both to release the plastic light fixture. If you roll the fixture sideways (a bit of a hassle but it can be done) you can access the bulb from the outside of the rear gate. For me, at least, that was easier. Used needle-nosed pliers to hold the fixture steady while I replaced the bulb.
Shits way to complicated for a license plate light
Thanks a lot DJ, your video was great. CHEERS!!!
What a pain , thanks for the video , I'm just going to run with no license plate light until the cops pull me over 😅
It is a pain. You could give a couple taps and the light bulb may light up again.
I was able to easily turn the bulb holder of my 2011 Venza counter clockwise (like you said) using my fingers.
… and guess what!?? My license lightbulb is out again. Have to change it out again.. I guess it lasted about 2 1/2 years.
Thank you cause I didn't know how to change it
Thank you so much!!
we want more how to videos Tony!!!
Aaaaay!
Thanks a lot. It was tough getting the harness back in. I ended up unclipping the lens and flipping it to the outside of the trunk.
Don't you have the remove the outside pannel to remove the assembly?
@@daijoubu4529 outside little plastic cover; where the light shines through. I believe I removed it, because my hands are so large; the space is so tight.
Also removed the inside plastic.
@@vandshome when you say little plastic cover you mean that big ass cover that goes between the tail lights that you had to unscrew the nuts from the inside correct you basically add to almost take apart the interior and exterior of the hatch to get this done, correct?
@@vette4118 yes you have to take the hatch plastic off. The little plastic cover is the clear cover where the light shines through to the license plate. I believe it’s to screws.
But if your hands are small; you can get the bulb twisted in
@@vette4118 - I believe Shawn pushed the bulb and socket right out through the back door so that its hanging out over the license plate... and he's referring to the little plastic "lens" that you can push out. I also pushed it out just a little bit, and though.. oops, I better not push this out because i'll never be able to get it back in.. I didn't see any screws that attach this light housing.. just sort of a "clip".
All right, figured it out so the key is positioning the socket perfectly to get The notches of the socket into the grooves of the lens housing that's the hard part you've got a really figure out how to get that down now if you notice when the socket is in place and the wire harness plug is plugged into the socket that wire harness plug is at the 12:00 position so you basically have to have The notches somewhere in the vicinity of the top being at 11 the bottom being at about 5:00 and then what you're going to do is one finger from each side or two fingers from each side meaning your left hand coming from the left of that ridiculous bracket blocking everything and your right hand coming from the right hand side of that ridiculous bracket the two holes either side of the bracket the left hole left hand, the right hole right hand, you reach in and what I did, was my left hand two fingers had the bottom of the socket the right hand two fingers had the top of the socket again, once I had it perfectly positioned, and for dear life I tried to create as much torque with both hands using two fingers on each hand obviously pushing creating as much clamping force and turning for dear life and thank God it turned, what I also did was used some chapstick I was going to use vaseline, I always use Vaseline in these types of situations to reduce the friction and create more slippage, went to the local gas station no vaseline, figure chapstick has enough petroleum in it, it did, it worked a treat, but that's what you got to do lube it up, and give it a twist once you position it perfectly, with both hands and just pray you can get enough strength and torque through your two fingers on the top and your two fingers on the bottom push squeeze twist
Thanks Dik for telling me my video was worthless. I think most people who has ever had a car understands the basics of installing a bulb. That is the easy part.. actually turning the bulb once it’s seated is difficult because of the bracket, which is in the way, as you and I have both noted. I do like that you’ve added the part about applying some lubricant! That’s a great idea. So for that I can overlook you being rude and insulting.
@@avp0713 heat of the moment bro, I was out there for 90 minutes messing with that thing and I wanted to kill people, but once it was done it wasn't as bad but the lubricant and using the two hand method was the way to go, it's Toyota's fault, not yours, but just let the video run next time and let people see you torture yourself because at least that way we get some kind of idea all you have to do is speed up the film at that point like other people do when TH-cam videos where they triple speed it and you time lapse through the process, but I do appreciate your efforts
@@vette4118 - I figured your comment was typed while you were pissed and frustrated. Your suggestion to put a lubricant on the bulb socket is great. Next time I'll do that. All these years, I never thought of that.... and I've had like 10 cars... but never really had a problem like this... always had GMs and Dodges. This is my first import. Anyway, thanks
You need a plastic upholstery tool looks like a butter knife in plastic, second good job but you should have tested to if if the light was working
Thanks a lot.... I love TH-cam
Welcome... gotta be patient with this.
I took it off, it was easy
Glad it all worked out for you! Thanks that’s awesome!
I would like to see how to get the rivets, holding the panel, out. Looks hard taking the panel out. Is it? My neice needs help with this light.
Clips....not rivets
Good morning, is removing the back panel the same way to get to the reverse light
No. To remove reverse lights you will need to remove the inside SIDE panel, not the gate panel.
I have venza I want you to assist me with the interior bulbs model number?

It wasn’t easy to take that plastic panel off I broke one of those pins? 😂🎉
Yes, that happens sometimes. Have to be super careful with the plastic trim pieces. The plastic tabs will break with too much pressure.
Its really hard to take the bulb out.. My fingers do reach but then i don't know whic direction to turn it i troed either way didn't help
Crazy I can’t twist socket to secure it. Seems I can’t get the angle right ..
Hey Boris T, some other people on this thread mentioned to use a little "bulb grease" on the socket.. and it will turn easier. I'm not sure what "bulb grease" actually is... but maybe WD40 or there is also electrical grease... "Permatex Grease - $5.00 at Home Depot) that will make it go in easier.
I'm almost certain there is an easier way to do this, but maybe not.
I do mention in the video that others have removed the entire plate on the inside of the back hatch; I looked for the "six bolts" and could not locate them. SMH... something so simple should not be so labor intensivie. Honestly in my younger years... I would just use a set of metal snippers and cut through the metal inside the hatch where nobody can see it. But I took the high road.
@@avp0713 me either. I looked and there just doesn't seem to be any easier way.
