How to Remove the Front Headlamp of a Toyota Rav 4

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 3, Xa30 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Headlight

Before you can start, open the bonnet of your Toyota Rav 4 to gain the necessary space to work. Begin by removing the cover located above the front grille by unscrewing the screws that secure it, then extract it. Once you have removed the cover, you will uncover some screws that secure the headlamp to the vehicle. To access the others, you will need to disengage the inner wheel arch and the first section of the bumper, revealing the last two bolts that secure the headlamp. Proceed to unscrew and remove the screws and bolts, then extract the headlamp from its housing. At this point, simply disconnect the rear connector, and you will have completed the disassembly.
