Avanza DIY: Replacing Headlights

[woohoo]

Here's how to replace our beloved ride's headlights...

You'll need the following:

• Replacement H4 bulbs
• Two fingers, preferably thumb and index finger
• Good lighting (daylight or flashlight
• Courage
• A little strength

Let's begin the walkthrough for one (1) headlight...

1. Pop the hood.

2. Locate the back portion of the headlight. Identify the modular plug:



3. Remove the modular plug (just pull it out gently, moving it a little bit from side to side):



4. Locate the protruding rubber so you can use it to pull off the rubber cap/cover (my index finger is touching it here):



To be continued...

[woohoo]

Part 2:

5. Pull off the rubber cover:



6. Here's a view of a partially pulled off rubber cover:



7. Set aside the rubber cover in a safe place:



8. View of the naked headlight from the back, after removing the rubber cover:



9. Closer view:



To be continued...

[woohoo]

Part 3:

10. Begin removing the locking clip by pinching inwards:



11. Locking clip unlocked:



12. You can now pull out the H4 bulb:



13. Here's the H4 bulb in all its glory, hehehe:



14. Put in the replacement bulb, and reverse the process from Number 12 to Number 1... Be careful in re-inserting the rubber cover, make sure it's centered, so that it will not get snagged on the connector pins of the bulb:



Walkthrough is done. Now, you may go buy your preferred replacement bulbs.
