Replacing Headlight Bulbs?

i can get the top of the bumper unclipped in about 3min...you can then get at all 3 bolts that hold the headlights in

if you pop out the headlights its waaaaaaaaaay easier to see whats going on w/ the bulb in the back.

H4's are pain in the butt. theres a little metal clip that holds them in at the back....its hard to see how it goes in if you have the headlights still in the car

I can confirm this to be the most F**KING annoying job on the Yaris and costs your skin and blood....especially on the drivers side of a LHD car! The battery and fuse boxes kill the chance of getting it done easily.

Removing the bumper is the best way, although I didnt want to snap the clips as Im heavy handed when p**sed off so (believe it or not) I actually removed the top of the wing, held it away slightly from the inner arch and it gave me enough room to get the f**kin bulbs out.

YES I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY CAR OVER THIS STILL. Toyota take note, this sucks!

Not seeing the clip is major probem the first time you change them as you don't have a real understanding just how the clip is fastened.

After removing a headlight for the fist time and seeing just how it's secured should make it easier to change it the next time without removing the headlight.

I may have to take a light and one of those little dental mirrors to see how it's set up. I don't like the bumper removal idea. This is really bad design.
