Toyota Tundra Tail Light Replacement 2007-Current

[@TomCahillITGuy]

My son smashed my tail light on my 2017 1794 Edition so I had to replace the entire tail light assembly. Found this video and saw how easy it was to replace. Thanks so much! It took me longer to find my drill than it did to change the tail light :)

At the beginning it sounded like you were recording in Kansas on a windy day but it didn’t overpower your voice so all in all a job well done and I’m very grateful for your help!

[@TightWadDIY]

Carl McKenzie It was definitely windy. I try to block it from my phone but it doesn’t always work.

[@VenomousStare]

Excellent video. Clear, concise, well spoken and good video quality. Saved me time and money.

[@TightWadDIY]

VenomousStare Thank you. I try my best to provide helpful, quality videos.

[@chairfarmer1511]

I had to change my whole unit out as it was smashed. OEM was listed at 156.00 to 214.00 not installed. I changed it out myself using this video and item from Amazon $66 all in. Toughest part was unplugging the plug. Thanks for the help.

[@TightWadDIY]

I’ve cracked mine and need to replace it. Are you happy with the Amazon replacement part?

[@themanimal1925]

I appreciate this video. I just changed out both of mine.

[@TightWadDIY]

Glad it helped

[@govermentcheese1]

Awesome job. I changed my light in 5min it was cold out 29 degrees. Also buy and add light lubricant into socket before putting in light in case u have to change again makes it easier. Again AWESOME video. A++++++. Take Care be Safe. God Bless...

[@TightWadDIY]

I’m glad the video helped you get it done faster in the cold. Nice tip on using the lubricant.

[@isaacyoung7662]

Well done. The info was just what I needed to get the job done. Thank you!!!

Happy to help

[@webtron44]

Great, quick instructions. Thanks

[@TightWadDIY]

You’re welcome!

[@Tom-mu7zy]

I knew I had a bad left turn signal because the dash indicator blinked unnaturally fast. I looked and the left rear housing was cracked and had two inches of standing water inside. Duh! I bought an entire new housing with bulbs for $64 from JN Auto. Dealer wanted $240. Oh, and thanks for the video.

[@TightWadDIY]

I’ve cracked my rear passenger one. I need to order one too.

[@JustaSimplefact]

Thx for the vid, super simple buuuuuuut. You got the order wrong. Turn on your truck and test the lights to make sure they are working, THEN screw the fixture back in. Murphy is always waiting and watching...

[@TightWadDIY]

Noah Zork Thanks. I totally agree if you have someone to test them while you hold the unit in place. I prefer not to leave it sitting without the screws to hold it.

Thx Bill

My pleasure.

[@incredone]

Awesome thanks

[@TightWadDIY]

No problem!

[@lalva2024]

Great video. Just hope it applies to the brake lamp. Maybe they’re one in the same (tail & brake lamp)

[@TightWadDIY]

L Alva it should fix you up!

[@Rasheed17]

Alright so I followed the instruction and replaced my driver side tail light and it works perfectly but when I replaced my passenger side tail light bulb the tail light no longer works. All the lights work including the left tail light, both reverse lights, and both blinkers. I also checked the fuse labeled “tail” and that one is good as well. I also made sure the bulb works by placing it in the drivers side light. Any idea how to fix this?

2011 here, (just passed inspection) tail lights don’t come on, indicators and breaks work fine, checked fuses, found 15a missing (Tail/lights) replaced fuse still not working. Any ideas what the issue is? Thanks

[@TightWadDIY]

I wonder if something chewed through your wires.

[@pepperidgedave]

Tundras are the best

[@TightWadDIY]

pepperidgedave I agree! Be sure to subscribe. I have several videos for this truck.

[@arijoseph2282]

you should use rubber gloves when you do it. The oil on your hands will reduce the life of the bulb

[@TightWadDIY]

You are correct but I try to touch it as little as possible.

[@BeeEmEcks]

I have heard of doing that when handling the brighter headlight bulbs but I don't believe that is the case with this type of bulb...

[@theUAPwhisperer]

Have you had issues changing the 3rd brake light or cargo light?

[@TightWadDIY]

I’ve never tried to change that one. Sorry.

[@cjkeils8295]

Mine are completely rusted and when I tried to get them out they immediately crumbled and stripped how would I go about getting them out now?

[@TightWadDIY]

You may have to use a drill and tap.

[@chardon59803]

What size bit? Is that a T30?

[@TightWadDIY]

chardon59803 Yes. It is a T30.

[@coog7896]

It's a T30 bit on my 2010 Tundra

[@TightWadDIY]

Thanks for adding to the knowledge base here. The model changed in 2014

[@seabreezeblank1513]

A 64-year-old woman just replaced the entire driver side tail lights if I can do it you people can certainly change a light bulb

[@TightWadDIY]

Yes! I’m glad you were able to get it done!

[@carvin2003]

Does anyone know where I can find the bolts? I've been searching and can't find it. Mine were rotted out. I had to cut a slot in them with the Dremel and use a flat screwdriver to back them out.

[@TightWadDIY]

carvin2003 Check the Toyota dealership. They usually have a parts department. There is also an OEM parts website.

[@seanrogers1739]

Why not use any blub grease?

[@TightWadDIY]

No need

[@seanrogers1739]

@ this video is old and you still reply, thank you sir, great video

[@trentmister3777]

What torqs bit

[@gamefowlfamily3469]

No wonder your neighbor told you he runs an auto store

[@TightWadDIY]

Gamefowl Family True! He is a great neighbor too.

[@HN-gj2iq]

No touchy touchy on the bulb with bare hands else it will blow again soon enough.

[@euphonek]

That's only for halogens. These are regular incandescents.

[@chrischada4570]

Dig

[@TightWadDIY]

Deep

[@goosifer]

What’s the point of an instructional video that doesn’t have the Torx bit size?

[@TightWadDIY]

Barba Roja Sorry. I assumed if you have one, you have the whole set and can easily find the correct size.

[@goosifer]

TightWadDIY sorry man. I was pissed at everything, sitting in front of the auto parts store. You did nothing wrong

[@TightWadDIY]

Barba Roja I understand the frustration. Were you able to get it fixed?

[@goosifer]

Fixed! I bought a set, which in the long run is probably better

[@TightWadDIY]

Barba Roja That set will save you money in the long run! Now you can start fixing more things around the house. I have over 200 DIY style videos.
