How to Replace Brake and Tail Light Bulb Toyota Tacoma 2005-2015 - WITH ONE TOOL!

[@okie3807]

I looked at the back of my truck and had no idea of how to get to the bad brake light. 2 minutes into this excellent video and I'm in business. Got the problem fixed for $7.50 and got an extra bulb to boot. Thank you so much for the great video.

Like many who have commented,I am not mechanically inclined. I really appreciate the way this video was presented. Thank you. You saved me money. Plus I learned another skill . Thank you. I wish the very best of 2024 to all who read this post.. the gift of knowledge is one of kindest things we can do for each other.

Glad it was helpful! So true!

[@Pasqualelovesrio]

Thank you for the clear instructions. I had no idea how to do it and I don't have time to call around and make an appointment at an auto shop. Clicked the link to Amazon, bulbs arrived at my door and done.

[@2carpros]

Nice work! Thanks for watching Patrick!

Best video out there. I watched them all. It has all the little extra details to make sure you do a good job and very clear instructions. I ordered the complete assembly new from EBay for $35. It should have taken five minutes, but my assembly was smashed so it took me a little longer having to get the broken plastic parts separated from the bolts with vise grips. Then I put it in and the bolts were spinning, so I took it out again and saw there were no threads and looked at the old one and and saw there should have been metal clips with a threaded part on it. So I had to get a thin screwdriver to pop those off of the old assembly and put them on the new assembly. So it ended up taking me ten minutes, mostly walking back and forth and looking for tools. I'm not sure I would have tried if I hadn't watched this video because it was such a nightmare on my old car. But this was super easy. Thanks!

[@2carpros]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@smbishop63]

Thank you! I am a new owner and the left break light was out, just like in your video. Took less than 5 minutes!

[@sweterollo8951]

Super helpful video. It was well shot and framed and you presented the instructions in a concise manner.

[@sebrinabennett5024]

As a woman, this was so helpful and I did it! Saved me $150 that the shop wanted to charge me for…

[@katsmith-riply9862]

As a woman… 🤦‍♀️

[@meohearn]

Very well explained. I like that you showed what you DON’T have to remove (that 3rd bolt). I also like that explain it’s easier to work on it if you remove the whole taillight.

[@2carpros]

Thank you!

[@markrhuett]

Excellent explanation. I'm not mechanically inclined but this video helped me to be able to change the bulb!

[@calmaguer19]

[@Youngshmoodboi]

Thx’s straight to tha point

[@xmnemonic]

my left taillight doesn't illuminate as a brake light, but it does work as a taillight when headlights are on. do you think it could be a bad bulb? right light works fine.

[@MC-ig8cm]

It’s a little different on the driver side if there’s a backup camera wired if there’s a backup camera then all of the bulb have to removed but you don’t have to disconnect the wiring harness on my 2015 Tacoma driver side was that passenger side was wiring harness disconnect

[@rolandogarcia6140]

Thanks a lot it was a big help

[@2carpros]

[@povdriving5999]

What kind of Bulb is the turn signal bulb??

[@MrLuridan]

$69.99 online, $153.00 Auto Palace, $257.00, Auto Zone (or vise versa)...just for the part, drivers side. Huge cash savings DIY, but shop around for best price!

[@2carpros]

Wow 257 at AutoZone. Jeez. Well good work! Thanks for watching!

Doesn't work for my 2016

[@brandonallen1167]

2016 was the next generation. 2005-2015 was this generation of tacoma

[@gusgarcia4884]

You didnt blow out the dust and dirt in the light assembly or put on any bulb contact grease.

[@leeb.7188]

What is bulb contact grease and where does it go? Thanks!

[@divorcedbisexual]

Correction the top and bottom bolt only that second bottom bolt not necessary to take light out.
