In this video we are going to show you headlights serving and replacement on this 2002 Toyota Tacoma. We are going to show you both if you just want to replace the headlight bulb as well as if you want to replace the whole assembly. A lot of times on these trucks they become clouded, cloudy and dull and scratched. Also they can get broken. Tools you will need are; a Phillips screw driver, a long flat blade screw driver and a 10 mm socket with a ratchet extension.
If you are just looking to change the headlight bulb, come in behind the head light assembly. You can pull your connection off by pulling back and then remove this boot and there is a wire retainer here push in, bring it up and out and now well I can take the headlight out. Okay new headlight, you want to put it back in with one of the tabs up, so that it can lean beyond the retainer here. You kind of pull back on the retainer, twist a little bit, push the retainer back down in, like that, put this boot right back on. Plug your harness back in. The same thing over here a little bit tighter with the battery there though. Now with your hood open, there is a Phillips screw right here on top, then remove that. Once that's removed you pull your light, you kind of pull this up, pull your parking light forward and then reach in behind and just twist counterclockwise on the socket. You want to repeat removing that side marker from the other side of the vehicle as well.
Now below the headlight just reach in and pull firmly. These clips, you actually, these two came apart you just reach down in and at the tab right here you press on that tab and that releases each clip. Release those ones first and then there are three down below so you need a long screw driver it will wand way down in here. Pull from the bottom here and reach way down to here, touch that tab, pull one in the middle and press it down and pull. The third rubber here that's already let go and there's your grill off. Now to remove your headlights there's two nuts on the side here and then a bolt right here. I'll just fast forward as I remove those two 10 mm nuts and the bolt.
Take out, pull this over to the side and pull it over to the side and out and disconnect your bulb and there's your light out. Take this new light from 1A Auto and just going to cut a little bit of the wrap off the edges. They are just going to plug in exactly the same. Okay, I'm going to just speed up here again as I put those two nuts on and then the bolt and then tighten them up with my 10 mm socket ratchet and extension. You going to tighten them up snug but don't over tighten them.
For installation, it's pretty simple. Make sure it goes in underneath and push that side in, push the opposite side in. Then make sure your tabs line up here because the lower ones go in. Give it a good extra push and make sure it is locked in. Light in, there are two tabs; there's one up here and one down here that goes into the grill. Make sure that lower one goes in. Make sure this goes underneath. Then make sure that one's going in, push it in, walk it right in. Make sure you can see the hole in the headlight and put your screw in and you repeat this from the other side you are all set.
