Hi all,

Recently both my bulbs went out for low beams, within days of each other. I've checked my fuses and they all seem ok, high beams and parking lights all work still as well. So I've went and gotten some new bulbs but I am having alot of trouble removing my old ones. Do I need to remove my headlight? I've managed to get those little black covers off the back of the headlight to expose the bulb/plug but I can't seem to pull it out.

Anyone got any tips on how to install new bulbs into an 05 Stivo? Any help would be much appreciated.

PS: I've been skimming through threads but can't seem to find any mention of how to install bulbs

another member who's bulbs went bust... this time from another state... must be something to do with the change in weather

anyways i've only ever replaced the bulbs for the 2001-04 prefacelift Corolla so im not sure how they're connected with the later models...

btw, do you have your owners manual?

Check your owners manual. There's a clip that goes around the bulb. You need to undo that before the bulb comes out.

Can this all be done while the headlight is still attached to the car? I've got small hands and still find trouble getting it into the space thats there.

yes!!

its a spring clip kinda, u gotta push in then slide kinda... read your owners manual and it will tell you.. should only take a min each side... no need to drive to the annual meet for it lol

I got it! Was actually really easy once I got those spring clips off which were really easy as well once you work out which way they need to go, the manual wasn't too helpful in that respect.

Thanks everyone for their input.

      Forgot to mention, if you can get the Toyota Part number, you'll be able to X-reference if non OEM.

      Anybody interested in Rav4 SXA-11 Project car?

      I have a SXA-11 3 Door in my garage that i was intending to get going again, but sadly just cannot seem to find the time. I was my daughters car, until she cooked the motor. I have a replacement motor ready to go. Quite good for its age otherwise. In Berowra, just north of Sydney.

      Squeaking and buzzing sounds

      Greetings! I have a 2008 camry (83000) with the 2grfe, and recently while I was in a stoplight a buzzing and squeaking sound suddenly became audible even on the outside and it is louder when I'm in gear (reverse or drive) in idle but when I'm cruising or accelerating it doesn't make any audible noise. I attached a link for everyone to view and give their opinions regarding it and the engine light is just a faulty sensor that I'm sure it doesn't have any effect or could be considered as a culprit since I have that engine light for a few months now and it doesn't change the way the car drives Thankyou Video link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oyxGUafCTU9CRG_trSC1hIGNxzQPMabI/view?usp=drivesdk

      Error Codes - 200 Series Landcruiser

      Those codes are not on my error code list but a quick Google search points towards a malfunctioning injector. Need more info such as mileage, diesel or petrol , fuel filter and car behaviour.

      2014 VDJ200 Toyota Landcruiser Sahara Water pump

      As fas as I know all V8 diesels are the same. The only difference between the 'ute' and/or Trooper (single turbo) is the ECU. As mentioned in my post 200 is the wagon, 79/78/76 are the ute/trooper variant only having one turbo. Is $800 just for the pump? This one must only be silver plated.

      New Vehicle Key Remotes

      Bought a new 2022 Hilux Rogue ( 23km on Odo ) from a Non Toyota dealer, as a second hand car.Ok with that.Purchased on Feb/2023 and was flawed when only given one key/remote.Told 2nd key would arrive to original dealer, they would contact the current owner to have 2nd key activated and handed to current owner.Fast fwd to May 24 some 15 mths later Toyota Aust, says key has still not been issued to original dealer/seller. The Non dealer not interested in helping as their not a Toyota dealer.Original dealer said they cant help once the car leaves their dealership ?????. Not good enough from Toyota Aust. Going to keep complaining as I reckon its a ploy to get one to pay for a 2nd key. Don't get me started on Hilux requirement to service at 5000/mths . GGGGGRRRRRRR

      2014 VDJ200 Toyota Landcruiser Sahara Water pump

      Thanks, been quoted up near $800 from a good source but was hoping to get one cheaper and he wouldn’t tell me the model as I have a twin turbo and stated it the higher end model.

      2014 VDJ200 Toyota Landcruiser Sahara Water pump

      $1500? Gold plated is it? 1VD-FTV sounds about right. Only two variants - petrol or diesel. Only one diesel through out the life of the diesel V8. Had mine done around 2012 (2008) vintage, $250 from Toyota at the time. Shop around and try AMAYAMA. Forumites on the now defunct LCOOL were sourcing quite a few parts from there. Try this: Genuine Toyota LandCruiser 200 79 78 76 Series VDJ 1VD 4.5 Diesel V8 Water Pump on ebay.

      Toyota Landcruiser V8 petrol lack of power on acceleration

      Hi, My Toyota landcruiser 2004 V8 Sahara has lost power on acceleration with a timing tickle. I have replaced the plugs, coils, air filter, fuel filter and cleaned pcv valve as there was some oil through the box. The car is showing no codes, but has high oil pressure on cold start, is noisy and using a lot more fuel than usual. Please help, Barb
