How to change a tail light on a Toyota Vitz or Yaris

This was extremely helpful David! The right was a breeze, the left was impossible. This tutorial was perfect, I appreciate them specificity like using 10mm - saved me a lot of time!

I chickened out and got the guy at Halfords to fit my driver side tail light. He was able to do it without removing the full unit. However, this video was useful to see that its considerably easier to fit than a front headlight. Thanks.

There is no need to remove the light unit. If you just reach in, you can find the bulb holder, twist & remove. I will say that if you find it difficult with one arm, try the other, as sometimes it's magically easy using the right arm, infernally difficult with the left (or vice versa).

Hi mate, how about the break light at the top of the reverse and indicator light? Its like a round type light and i dont know how to replace it.. do i really need to break the cover and just put an adhessive again when im done replacing it?

"You'll never see it again". Where did all my 10mm sockets go ?

Thanks

I can't take the bulb off. Is there a trick to it?? You don't struggle in the video lol.
