Replacing Rear Headlight Bulbs on Toyota Rav 4

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 4, Xa40 - Years 2013-2018
Part: Tail light bulb

Lift the boot lid and remove the two bolts securing the affected rear light to the bodywork. This will allow you to extract the headlamp from its housing: while doing this, disconnect the connector. Now that you have removed the light, position it on a workbench and replace any burnt-out bulbs: to do this, simply unscrew the connector slightly and pull it out, then remove the bulb from the connector and insert the new one. It's that easy! You can replace the fog light bulb, the stop light bulb, and the main bulb in this way.
