Replacement of interior light bulb (New Yaris)
I need to replace a bulb in the interior light of the new Yaris TR. (Mk.3 Yaris). There are no instructions in the handbook and I can only find guides on the internet for the Mk.1 and Mk.2 I have tried to locate locking tabs etc. without success. I do not want to pry too hard and break the plastic. It is unclear whether the outer cover detaches or the light is a complete unit. Does anyone know the correct procedure please? Photographs would be of great help if that is possible.
Regards Geoff Peace. |

Hi Geoff
I've changed both the interior map reading lights and dome. Both of which I just pried on the plastic bits and they eventually do pop off. Can get you reference photos of where I pulled if you wish? Are you changing the centre lights or the ones above driver and passenger? Eren.

Hi Geoff
Apologies for not replying sooner - I've been away for the weekend! I have taken one photo and I hope it's good eh ought, it's literally to show where I pulled the plastic part from. At the sides where the plastic looks different and looks like two clips is where I got underneath to pull out. It does feel very stiff and like it won't come off but then I moved to the front of the cover where the switches are and pulled it down that way. After a while it does loosen and come off. I was gentle with it but after a bit of perseverance it did pop off. Hope this helps!

Not a problem :) Hope this helps. I hope it was clear enough as I explained it. I also found a lack of instruction in the hand book when it came to changing these lights and also the map/vanity lights.
Regards!

FWIW......
Even it it looks different due to different model years etc, they all remove the same way. :) |
