Giriş

Use this guide to replace a burnt or damaged brake light in your 2010 Toyota Venza.

A working brake light is extremely important to ensure that there is accurate communication while on the road with other drivers. Functional brake lights alert others that you are slowing down or stopping.

Before using this guide, be sure to test your lights by having another individual stand behind your vehicle while you press on the brake. This will let you know which side, or if both, need to be replaced.

Prior to beginning this process, it is highly recommended to wear new, disposable latex gloves when installing any incandescent bulb. The oils from our skin deposited onto the bulb can reduce its lifespan.
