Replacing the front headlight on a Toyota Rav-4

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 1, Xa10 - Years 1994-2000
Part: Headlight bulb

If you find that the front headlight bulb on your Toyota Rav4 has blown, replace it as soon as possible. To do this, open the bonnet and position yourself in front of the affected headlight, disconnect the electrical connector and remove the rubber protective cap. Release the bulb by unfastening the metal clip that holds it in place, and pull it out. Insert the new bulb, taking care not to touch the glass with bare fingers and ensuring it is correctly positioned. Secure the clip and replace the protective cap and the electrical connector, then check that it works correctly.
