Lightbulb change

lil help?

Anyone in Melbourne able to change my Yaris headlight bulbs?

I tried and failed

My hands are too big, so I decided to undo the top half of the bumper bar. After all that effort I still could not change em.

I wasnt going to get under the car on the road as I live near a T intersection and did not want to get run over.

GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Anyone?

There's a sweetener too. I'll post on here how cool you are

Have you tried taking out the headlights to get to the bulbs? It should be 3 10mm bolts holding the headlight. You can just take the top part of the bumper off to get to the bottom bolts.

Tried that. After undoing all the bumper clips and the two in the wheel arches I could not get the headlight out after unscrewing the 3 bolts. Grrr

Once the bolts are out. you have to lift up the tabs for the headlights and it will pop out.

All fixed. I got the panelbeaters to put it in, they broke the bulb. Cost me nothing, except the bulbs.
