bulbs behind headlight reflectors? - Toyota Yaris Forums

YAR1S · 03-17-2009, 03:36 PM

Are there small bulbs behind the side reflector on the front headlights?
not the ones on the actual body of the car... but inside the headlight.

One side seems to be illuminated and the other not.....
how to fix?

Yes there are. The only way to get at them is to remove the headlights ...

gosh..... that sucks..... do you have to remove the back part of the light too? ;[

You have to remove the front bumper to remove the headlights. It is actually quite easy - I removed mine to put in my Silverstar bulbs. Look at the lighting section of the service manual, which is posted in the DIY area. It walks you through removing the bumper and light assembly.

Oh, and no you don't have to remove the back of the light, you just twist the bulb socket and pull it out.

You don't have to remove the bumper to remove a headlight.
Just remove the bumper retaining pins near the headlight and bend the bumper a bit to expose the one healight bolt that is under the bumper.
It's relatively easy.
