To replace the rear tail light bulb on a Toyota Yaris, follow these steps. Start by opening the tailgate and locate the compartment behind which the bulb is situated.

You may need to remove the access panel, which is usually secured with screws or clips. Once the panel is removed, you should see the bulb holder of the tail light.

Rotate the bulb holder counterclockwise to unlock it and remove it from the tail light. At this point, you can remove the old bulb by gently pulling it out of the bulb holder.

Be careful with the contacts and the position of the bulb to correctly install the new one. Once the new bulb is inserted into the bulb holder, reinsert the bulb holder into the tail light and rotate it clockwise to lock it in place. Finally, reinstall the access panel and ensure it is secured firmly, and you will have completed the replacement.
