Your headlights are worn, opaque ?

Water starts to seep in and you get droplets on the inside ?

This guide will show you how to replace those old headlights with new ones. Your Yaris will look like it's new!

Unscrew the cross-head screws which attach the front bumper to the car.
There are 4 screws to remove.
If you're only changing one headlight you need only unscrew one side. But for your peace of mind I'd advise you to remove them all.

Release the plastic clip which attaches the top of the bumper to the middle of the radiator grill.

Disengage the the bumper attachment.
Using a large screwdriver or a small iron bar, lever it as shown until it detaches.
There are 2 attachments to release either side of the bonnet lock.
If you're only changing one headlight you only need to detach one side.
Completely disengage the bumper from around the headlight, pulling it gently outwards.

Lift the top attachment of the headlight.
Disengage the headlamp, pulling it forwards.
Be careful - the bulbs are still connected. Don't pull the headlight too far forward.

Withdraw the rubber boot on the back of the main beam bulb.
Unclip the clip which attaches the main beam bulb and remove the main beam bulb.

Twist headlight dip motor a quarter towards counter-clockwise.
Withdraw the dip motor.
On reassembly, take care to secure the motor properly in position. An adjustment may prove necessary to ensure the position of the dashboard control corresponds to the correct level of dip.

To reassemble your headlight, take care to correctly position the headlight, before reassembling the bulbs, dip motor, and screws.
Make sure the plastic pin on the side of the headlamp is properly inserted into the bodywork.
