  • Front Parking Light

    Having just completed my second battery install I hit what I thought was the first problem - my front right parking light has blown. Had a quick look and realised I would have to completely remove the battery and tray to get to the bulb. I then looked at the manual to check what bulb to buy and it tells me that I have to take it back to Toyota to get the bulb replaced!!!! Is this true? I know Toyota have a reputation for charging the earth for spares but I've never heard of changing a light bulb being anything other than simply going to an auto store and buying a new one.

    Help anyone, please,

      Thanks Lyndon,

      Do you have to remove the headlight to get to them or can they be replaced in situ? I know I will have to at least remove the second battery to get to it.

        It's a tight squeeze without taking the battery out but is definitely doable. Unless you gave short arms!

        Any globe that is a t10 blade will do it.

          Thanks, I have long arms so should be OK then As it's so easy I don't understand why Toyota say you have to take it to them plus the dire warning about damage to the vehicle if you try to change it yourself.

            I have changed mine many many many times between blown bulbs and trying out different LEDs. I have an ARB bar so actually find it easier to reach in from the gap between the radiator and the bar and reach under the light.

            Coming in from the top with the battery still in place is a challenge.....

              Thanks for the help guys, 5 minute job as you said - I see what you mean about long arms though.

              I don't have a bullbar yet but was still able to reach in, and across, from in front of the radiator - saved taking out the new dual battery.
