Learn how to remove the front headlight on a Toyota RAV4. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it. Unscrew the headlight retaining pins (plastic rivets) with a screwdriver. After removing the front bumper, pull the headlight out of its housing.

You will find the bulbs with metal clips; remove the bulb holder from the headlight and extract the damaged bulb with the help of a screwdriver. Fit the new bulb (ensure it is the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing.

Finally, refit the new headlight and reverse the previous steps.
