How to Remove the Front Headlight of the Toyota RAV4 Mk4

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 4, Xa40 - Years 2013-2018
Part: Headlight

This guide shows how to remove the front headlight of the Toyota RAV4 Mk4. This operation is quite simple as it is not necessary to remove the entire front bumper. With the bonnet open, unscrew the two bolts on the top of the headlight. Unscrew the fastening screws of the front grille and the screws of the bumper in the wheel arch on the side you are working on. With a bit of force, you can move the bumper to unscrew the last fastening bolt. Pull the headlight towards the front of the vehicle to extract it; be careful with the electrical connections that need to be disconnected. At this point, you can replace the bulbs or the headlight. Reassembly is done in the same way as disassembly but in reverse.
