Bulb change in front fender oval housing
I have a blown bulb in the passenger fender side turning light. Last nite I remove the oval light housing and found out its a sealed fixed housing. Who in Toyota thought it was a good ideas to have a 194 bulb in a "sealed inaccessible housing"? SMFH The owners manual show how to remove the housing but don't say anything about changing the bulb. Am I to assume that I have to purchase a whole new housing set just to change the bulb?

Crack it open? They don't burn often as a flasher...
I believe the assembly is not expensive on rockauto. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk |

Just now checked one of the ovals...kinda loose on the fender, and when putting back on the spring tab broke. Good to have the ebay link. |
