How to Remove Previa Headlight Assembly

When your Toyota Previa's headlight assembly fails, you need to replace it right away. Obviously, you can't drive with just one headlight. Fortunately, replacement headlights for your Previa are available from most auto-parts stores. The headlight assembly is mounted to the chassis with ordinary mounting screws, but it's not entirely obvious how to remove the assembly. The service time for this job should be no more than 10 minutes.

Things You'll Need

• Phillips-head screwdriver

Instructions

1. Open the hood of your Previa and locate the mounting screw for the corner lights on the inside edge of each corner light assembly.

2. Remove the screw that holds the corner lights in place with a screwdriver.

3. Pull the corner lights out of the way to expose the mounting screws for the headlights.

4. Remove the mounting screws for the headlights and pull the headlights forward.

5. Unplug the electrical connector for the headlight and remove the headlight from the chassis.
