To remove the front headlamp of the Toyota Highlander, open the bonnet to access the screws and rivets securing the plastic panel at the front of the engine bay. Once this panel is removed, unscrew the screws that secure the headlamp at the top. To unscrew those securing it from the bottom, you will need to remove the bumper: unscrew the bolts from its inner part and inside the wheel arches.

By removing the bumper, you will be able to unscrew the screws that secure the headlamp from the bottom and disconnect the connectors to remove it from its housing.
