Thank you so much for this video. I bought the 2 bulbs from Amazon and changed the taillights myself on our 2006 Highlander with 200K miles. It's so easy when you know what to expect. As a side note in your video, the taillights worked fine when you pressed the breaks but not when the regular headlights were turned on. The bulbs are double filament for that purpose. I appreciate your help. You've gained a new subscriber! 👊🏻
Any idea what to do if this doesn’t fix the brake light? That portion of the light still works when the brake pedal isn’t being pressed. And the bulb actually appears to be good; if I switch it with the same bulb on the left, the brake light does work on the left (and no longer works on the right). Maybe there’s a bad connection in there somewhere and I need to replace to whole assembly?
Great video, easy fix, supposedly. In my vintage highlander, 2004 with 104,000., So I tried to turn the knob, wouldn't budge. I used a pair of needle nose pliers for leverage and SNAP! I broke the knob off. If I take my car to the shop I just know they are going to charge at least $100.00. I am looking for a tool small enough to use in the little holes of the housing. Any suggestions?
Mine is a 2006 1st generation (2001-2007), Yours is a 2nd generation (2008-2013). They may have slightly changed something it in the redesign in 2008. I hope you were able to get it done, even though it was a pain. Thanks for the comments.
I dropped mine yesterday and thought it was gone forever, but all you gotta do is grab a stick and put some 3M tape at the end and grab stick it in the deep dark hole and extract! I just grabbed mine out like that! 😊😊😊
You have 319.000 miles on it ??? No wayyyyy .... thats making me so nervous ! I purchased mine from the dealer with 75k in it now I have 90k in 3 years. Thinking about 300k miles making me anxious 😑😑

Thank you for this! You are the only person who showcased HOW to pull the signal light out. I was so lost bc I didnt know I had to PULL it.

Actually… it magically started working now. Like, it was not working, I just left it alone for a while, and now it is working. Ha. Ummm
Thank you for your help! Im in a pickle with my 06 Kluger (Australia) and now i reckon i will try to fix the taillights myself!
I'm glad this video was helpful. Good luck with it.
Have you had antifreeze leaking underneath the vehicle?

You're welcome!
my 2007 only has 80k miles...but it has unusual sound when engine is cold....when i step on the gas then release it, there is like a grinding sound
Hmmmmmm..... Not sure about that one.
I did it!!
That is great. I'm glad that the video helped. Have a great Thanksgiving.
you make it look easy my 2012 it seems impossible with my big hands. Bad design in my opinion., mine seems to be way further back.

Wish my wife’s 2011 Limited was that easy!
I'm not familiar with that model. So I'm not sure what the difference is, but good luck with yours.
I was in the process of changing out the bulbs and dropped the whole thing in the lower hole and can't get my hand in there. How would I get it out
I would suggest using something like this. amzn.to/3j7J73V Good Luck.
Thank u I was able to get it out. I took the plastic trim off and removed the plastic tool holder compartment
Glad you could get it out.
@@krolop1 you did not use the grabber tool then?
I dropped it down into that deep dark hole /: plz send help. Like seriously don't drop it . It's gone forever
Oh no. I hope that it doesn't rattle around when driving.
