    Thumbs up Avanza DIY: Replacing Headlights

    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...

    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:

    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.

    Important note. Will use all caps

    NEVER TOUCH THE BULB ITSELF.

    iyong oil and/or dumi sa kamay natin ay puwedeng magkaroon ng masamang effect sa glass at puwedeng umiksi ang buhay ng bulb.

    Request. Kunan mo ng pics para ma compare ang stock na philips at ang philips xtreme. TIA.

    Mag DIY sana ako ng palit kaso ng tatanggalin ko na as per insruction ng manual ay naghina ako. So sa shop na lang ako nagpapalit.

    Tama si woohoo sa isa sa mga requirements sa pag palit. Kinulang ako that time.
