To replace the front headlamp on a Toyota RAV 4, open the bonnet to loosen the seven screws securing the upper part of the front bumper. Next, loosen the clips located inside the front grille and on the side of the headlamp, completely removing the covers around it. This will make the securing screws visible, allowing you to loosen them, slide the headlamp out of its housing, and disconnect the connectors at the rear; this way, you can insert and connect the new headlamp properly.
