This tutorial shows how to replace the rear light on a 2001 Toyota Corolla. The tools you will need are: a flathead screwdriver, a 10 mm spanner, and the new rear light.

Lift the rear bonnet, then remove the plastic bolt to take off the plastic cover. Now you have access to the rear light, so use the 10 mm spanner to unscrew the light's fastening bolts; disconnect the cable and then you can remove the light from its housing.

Position the new light in its place, screw in the bolts and tighten with the 10 mm spanner, reconnect the electrical cable, and reposition the plastic cover.
