Front Right Headlight and Rear Left Taillight Bulbs

My Front Right Headlight and Rear Left Taillight Bulbs are out. Just wondering if I should try to do it myself or if I should take it to Hill Tire...I have a 2008 Hatchback 2 Door Yaris.

Find an hour and some tools to DIY. I suggest changing both front bulbs at the same time otherwise you may find yourself under the hood for the other side.

If you have small hands, and understand how the bulb is secured in the housing, you may be able replace the fronts without dismantling the car. There is a bit of room on the passenger side to work your hand in, but the driver side is considerably tighter. Lots of discussion on here about the blood loss in attempting to replace bulbs without pulling the bumper.

The easiest method is to partially pull off the bumper cover and remove the headlight assembly. Once the assembly has been removed, bulb replacement is very easy.
