Very useful indeed - thank you for this! Btw I found that you didn’t have to remove the wheel; if you need space you can simply turn the wheel inwards. Also use a bit of tape to prevent the headlamp connector falling in to the housing.
Warning- Toyota used different headlight bulbs in 2006 Estima. I have seen some Estima youtube with bayonet style, and this one with a circular connecter with central post. It is a pain to check the bulb before ordering one, but you may waste a lot of money if you dont. For my DBA-ACR55W 2016 Estima, It had an H11C (compact) bulb in it. This has a connector at right angles and is pill shaped. A normal length H11 fit just fine. To avoid the chance of dropping the old or new bulb while handling, use one of those spring grabber tools for picking up dropped screws in tight spaces. With the claw firmly attached to the connector of the bulb, the bulb can be manipulated into or out of the fixture with enough clearance to see what you are doing provided you have a well positioned work light. Works like a breeze with no anxiety about touching the glass or damaging the bulb because you have inserted it incorrectly. Believe me. You do not want to drop parts down into that cavity.
Thank you for your video it saved a trip to the mechanic and I learned from you're mistake by securing the cover with a piece of string so it wouldn't drop into the frame 👍👍
I did want to get 7 seats but instead got 8. Not the best choice with kids. I want the Alphard hybrid 2013(2nd gen) model but they are way toooooo expensive. I may end up with 2003-2008 model(1 st gen)

Hi Salius, I thought where did you go and why are there no new videos about Honda Elysion? And it turns out you've already changed your Honda for a Toyota! And I still still ride Elysion. Why did you change Elysion to Estima? If Elysion had a fuel consumption like Estima, would you sell it?
I wanted something different and love the hybrid idea. My wife has Toyota Prius she loves it and I love it too. So decided to go hybrid way. I haven't filmed videos for over 6 month because we have started investing in property. Buying houses and renting them. It takes so much time and knowledge so there is no time for videos at this moment. Would i go back to elysions? Probably not. There are so many different people carriers just want to try out different options😄
@@sauliusagintas your a good man thank u sir, also do you know where the Afs Adaptive Front Lighting control unit is on the 2008 hybrid Estima is I need to switch it off as it keeps flashing on the dashboard.. are you aware of this problem all my lights are working I don’t understand why it just came on...
@@ravidook7743 I don't know if it helps by disconnecting afs unit. I think it could be some issue with motors inside the headlight unit. Try to disconnect entire headlight (one side and reconnect and then another side) see if it help to identify which headlight has an issue. Another thing could be a steering angle sensor. Because it is responsible for headlight turn when you turn the steering wheel.

ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!! I HAVE TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE WHEEL TO REPLACE A GLOBE!!! No wonder I was getting frustrated I could not get the cap off and the manual is in Japanese!!
Nah, you don't have to remove wheels, that was an overkill on his part. Just turn them the all the way to the left when you do the right side and vice versa. This is more than enough to expose the hatches and do the job. I have just done it that way.
Thanks, man, you saved me a lot of time!
Thanks for the vedio. but I tried, I can't. It is really not much room for my finger.
I know what you mean.🤣🤦

OK, this is now got me wondering why the hell I bought a Toyota Estima! That's got to be one of the worst bulb-changing operations I've seen.
Pls I want to change my bulb to HID pls what's the bulb name I'm changing the entire bulb Hb3, HB4 or H11???
🤣🤣 yea i know.
@@abiolacomputing buld are HID D4S
hello great video any ideas on the Elysion how to urn off the automatic door locking mine does it every time i pull up and pull away
Do not know. Try with google translate and navigate via the menu. The should be an option.👍
I bought the toyota estima book on eBay £23.00 in English language
best is to open the whole lamp assembly. open bumper clip..safer.
This was the first time. Next time i will take the bumper off and then replace bulbs. Its easier this way.
FFS! I'm taking mine to Halfords and it's worth paying a tenner!
Leave frustration for them👍
They would never ever change them
@@imranhussain5581 😁
Why the fuk do they make it so difficult just to replace a single headlight bulb wtf
Hi Salius, why are you selling your Estima? Are you planning to buy different brand?

Do you still have Estima? It is looking like there are some 100 imported Estima for sale in UK on autotrader. Must be popular for some reason

Good video i tried changing the bulbs through wheel arch found it easier taking head lights out
I guess it is easier with headlights off. Especially when I dropped a connector in 🤨😄 and I had to remove headlight anyway. Lesson for next time😄👌
