Replacement Headlight Bulbs Installation

[rj2buy2]

I just purchased a pair of EuroDezigns BLUE XENON H4 bulbs for replacements of my stock headlight bulbs in my 2000 Tacoma. I see metal clips on the light frame, do I need to pop all 4 of those off? Please, can anyone help me with step by step installation? I know it sounds wierd, but this is my first is my first time actually doing this???

Have you checked the owner's manual? There are usually instructions in there for replacing a light bulb as it is a fairly simple task. If I remember correctly when I changed mine (2002 Tacoma), the metal clips were actually just one that popped off on one side and swung off to the other like a door. Not a great description but you may get the idea. If yours is different, the manual should show it. Another thought is to check out your local library and see if they have an expanded manual for the 2000 Tacoma.

Thanks for the help! The 2000 I believe has a different light setup than the 01-04's so I will take your advice and do some research in the library like my college days. I just put in a brand new Volant Cool Air Intake System into the Truck, and also I have installed many other mods that seem more difficult than this. Anyway, I will check it out. Once again, thank you for the advice.

I recently changed the bulbs on my 2000 taco
heres how:

1: behind the headlight unit there you will see a big black rubber seal, in the center is a plug, unplug it.

2: pull out rubber seal

3.there is a metal clip(looks like a metal wire hanger material) holding the bulb in, where the ends meet push down and up and it should unclip. old bulb will come right out.

4: DO NOT touch the glass portion of the new bulb or it will explode when it heats up due to the oil of your fingers or any other dirty surface it touches. The new bulb should fit like a puzzle with the 3 stubs on the side fitting into the notches behind the headlight.

5: reclip the bulb and reinstall the black seal making sure the plubs go through the center hole of the black seal, the black seal is marked "top" make sure that side goes up.

6: plug the bulb in the rear of the center of the black seal

7: turn lights on to make sure it worked
