How to replace HEADLIGHT BULBS Toyota Avensis. Years 2002 to 2016

[@jonnygti]

When I read all the comments here I thought I’m not even going to try to change my headlight bulb, as i haven’t got much patience. I took it to my local motoring shop, they fitted it in a couple of minutes, when I saw how easily he did it, I wished Id tried myself to be honest. The guy did have small hands though, which helps!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for comment. 👍

[@jussttg]

its nice that you havent started from removing gas tank :DDD. I change my all front bulbs at it is without removing the bumper or headlamp. left side is a bit harder but its managable.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks! 😃

Thank you for this video helped me a lot, may you be immensely awarded for your hard work

You're very welcome!

Nooo, this is way too much work for the replacement of the bulbs. For the battery side, just loosen the battery and push it to the side a little bit. Then you can easily access the cap where the bulb is behind. But a great guide on how to remove the headlights!👍

Thanks a lot. Was very helpful for me

You are most welcome

I like your videos but you don't need to remove bumper on any Avensis models to replace any light bulbs. I have changes bulbs in t22, t25 and t27. It's right squeeze but it can be done.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Good

[@AzamKhan-ml6wc]

Yes you absolutely correct I've changed both front on 2005 avensis without removing bumper

[@franceuxleseuf5928]

Thanks god, I was hoping Toyota engineers thought this through. I gotta change a bulb and undoing half a car is a daunting prospect to me

[@babthooka]

@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor Most awesome come-back!

[@metallicite]

@@AzamKhan-ml6wc how? I cheated and only took half the bumper off but still needed to. Those clips at the bottom pull outwards where the bumper is in the way? The H7 is the main issue wedged in there and the one I had to replace. This video saved me heaps of time

[@EduardoDudu-xg7ep]

Nice video buddy, thanks

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

No problem 👍

[@runthomas]

ps people it is fiddly for some of the bulbs ...but you can change every single bulb including sidelights without removing anything, i have avensis 1.8 vvi 2007 and have changed headlight bulbs, sidelight parking light , indicator bulbs and full beam...without ever pulling bumper or touching any screws or bolts whatsoever... just so you can have peace of mind knowing its at most a 5 minute job to change any of the bulbs.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

You're right...back in ancient history in the 1980s, changing a light bulb on cars was easy. In today's and today's new electric cars, such as e.g. Mercedes EQ cars, you can't even open the hood yourself. So the car has to be disassembled from the bottom by hand in order to change the lamp in the front? ps people it is fiddly for some of the bulbs ...but you can change every single bulb including sidelights without removing anything, i have Avensis 1.8 vvi 2007 and have changed headlight bulbs, sidelight parking light , indicator bulbs and full beam...without ever pulling bumper or touching any screws or bolts whatever... just so you can have peace of mind knowing its at most a 5 minute job to change any of the bulbs.

@runthomas hi, I have the same model avensis and struggling with the removal of the bumper. How did you manage without doing so??

[@metallicite]

You are awesome, very helpful! Thank you!!!

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Happy to help!

[@ss-5553]

Thank's for the video

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

You bet!

[@ditr257]

Excellent work Peter! Can we install LED bulbs?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes, absolutely

[@Jesusisallforme]

yes, everything is very difficult with the right headlight without dismantling it. Thank you. I don't understand how the tronic front park works

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes, exactly

[@MrDementori]

I replaced both main beam bulbs without removing bumper. On the left side, just remove the battery. On the right side, I had to hold the bulb in a special way to fit my size 9 hand in there. The trick was to use right hand index and middle fingers. Not enough space to hold the bulb with my thumb.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Any time! 😀👍

[@ashystyle]

Is removal of the bumper a must for replacing the right front main beam bulb?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

It helps

[@ashystyle]

@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctorIt helps but idiotic (sorry to say). Change main beam bulb only removing the battery.

[@the_gold_canopy]

You should do a video on replacing the head light bulbs in a Lexus RX400H. The correct way requires removing the bumper, while although you can replace bulbs without removing the bumper, it risks damage to a number of plastic parts, and there are a lot of bulbs compared to the typical every day vehicle. Its not a fun job. 😂 🔧

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Great idea, I will do. 👍

[@Paul5520]

Peter are you mad😂 no need for all of that ! Also those bulbs blow I’ve tried them. I think you can get some adapter kit.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks 😊👍

[@iSven]

I did it without taking anything off. Hood up and that's all

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

[@6799jan]

Hood up. Some swearing and sweathing. Thats it !

Good comment 👍

[@simosiren1758]

Yritin vaihtaa oikean puolen missä pesunestesäiliö ja abs jarrrupalikka. Todella ahdas. Jäi se rautalanka huonosti ja jouduin koskemaan polttimoon. Pitää vaihtaa kaikki tolla systeemillä kun ehtii.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Yes, big job. 👍

[@accelerator2833]

Tämä on ainakin helpompi tapa vaihtaa polttimot, kuin suoraan moottoritilan kautta jossa ei saa käsiä juuri mihinkään mahtumaan. Ajovalojen suojakotelot vasta onkin veemäistä laittaa takaisin paikalleen, varsinkin vänkärin puolella. Omasta Avensiksesta sen verran jo kokemusta. 😅

Mulla se rautalanka mikä pitää polttimon paikallaan aiheutti harmia. Sain kotelon kiinni mutta rautalanka pidike jäi huonosti. Pakko tehdä näin kuin videolla. Pitäs olla pienet kädet

No you dont have to romove the fuuul bumber. This video is a joke.
