How to replace the headlight on Toyota Rav4

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

To replace the Toyota Rav4 headlight, let's start by removing the upper part of the plastic headlights by removing the plastic clips, removed the plastic cover, remove the other clips and the Phillips screws with the help of some lubricant; to the side behind the bumper, we remove a clip, remove the stone guard and find 1 10mm bolt, go to the bottom of the bumper, find some clips and 10mm screws that we are going to remove, then we pull the bumper and remove it. Removed the bumper we can remove the bolts that hold the headlight which are 3 by 10mm, removed the bolts, raise the tabs that hold the headlight and remove the headlight. Once the headlight has been moved, we can remove the connectors of the bulb holders and give it a clean and we also remove the bulb holders if the new headlight does not have them. We take the new headlight, put the bulb holders / bulbs if it does not have them, and we can proceed with the reassembly which is the same procedure as for the disassembly but in reverse (from reassembling the headlight, reassemble the bumper and the plastic cover superior). Finally we can test the new lighthouse and the operation is finished.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
