Toyota Previa Headlamp Assembly Installation

One of the most simple repairs a vehicle can have is to repair a broken headlamp. This is the case even in larger vehicles such as the Toyota Previa. With nothing more than a replacement part and a pair of gloves, installing a headlamp can be done by any Toyota Previa owner in their own driveway.

Things You'll Need

• Replacement lightbulb
• Gloves

Instructions

1. Engage the parking brake and make sure your Previa's ignition is turned off. Open the hood of your Previa to locate the rear of the headlamp assembly inside the engine compartment.

2. Turn the black retaining ring counterclockwise to remove it. This is located at the rear of the headlamp assembly. Pull the headlamp bulb straight from the assembly and disconnect the electrical wiring harness from the socket.

3. Insert the new headlamp bulb into the socket and connect the electrical wiring harness. Reinstall the retaining ring by turning it clockwise to secure the bulb in the assembly.

4. Close the hood and test out your new headlamp to ensure it is working properly.

Tips & Warnings

• Always wear gloves when handling a used lightbulb as the oil from your hands can cause the glass to shatter.
