How to Replace the Front Headlight in a Toyota Tacoma?

Model: Toyota Tacoma N270, N260, N250, N240, N220, MK 2 - Years 2005-2015
Part: Headlight

To replace the front headlight in a Toyota Tacoma, open the hood and loosen the screws that secure the front grille in the center, connecting it to the headlights. This will allow you to remove the grille, giving access to the screws underneath that secure the headlight. These screws must be unscrewed, extracting the headlight from its housing and disconnecting the connector attached to its rear. Once the old headlight is removed, you can replace it with a new part and repeat the process for the other front headlight.
