I've been looking through this forum for a while I drive 07 2 door hatchback tried to change front headlight no luck took to Canadian tire they ended up breaking the bracket that holds the light cover to inside the bumper cover.I ended up changing it myself by unhooking the bumper cover.they wanted 171.00 just for labor.question is is the lower bracket very important or should I just leave it

You should demand they (Canadian tire) fix it.

Never get any work done to your car at Crappy Tire! I've heard too many horror stories.

I had to replace my bulbs Thanksgiving weekend as the driver's side had burnt out. Had a hell of a time getting that under-fender tab to break free from the mounting point on the driver's side. Needed to pry at it with a screwdriver to get it to pop free. Passenger side on the other hand practically fell right out when all three mounting bolts had been removed.

Hi, Just a simple question.
I have a 2007 european Yaris (SOL), I noticed that when I have the lights on and exit the car the lights stay on, I thought with a car of this year the lights would automatically turn off with the ignition, am I right or is this normal ?
Thanks for any reply.

That's normal behavior for both US and European market Yaris of that vintage.

Thanks for the reply. I think it's weird the lights stay on.
