how to change headlight bulbs? - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I did it on the passenger side without taking the whole assembly or the front bumper off. I used this guys video and the eyes in my fingers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPpXkBBfYEU

The whole video is good, but especially 13:54 is the best part.

By the way, the fat tab went up and the clip flops down when you take the bulb out. It flops upward when putting the bulb back in. Don't put grease on the contacts until after you put the bulb in and the boot on. Use vinyl or nitrile gloves when handling the bulb. Use a flat head screw driver to gently pry the boot off. Watch the video. These directions I am giving are not in order. Look at the bulb and the clips through the front of the headlight assembly while taking the bulb out and putting it back in.

It took about an hour.

If you figure on having your Yaris for a while you can get a pack of clips cheap on eBay. Pick up a set now to have in your box for next time.
