head light

[saker]

how do you go about changing the head light blubs on my hilux surf ?

i have had a look and it seems like you cant get at it from the back im thinking you have to do it by the front.

Spooky - was just looking at this.




Ooops should work now - easier than dismantling your truck

Well assuming yours is a 2nd Gen (it does help if we know what year/model) you need to remove the battery from the side concerned, and move the washer or expansion bottle then you can access the back of the headlights to change the bulb.

Some rough instructions can be found here

then go in from behind is a lot easier (oh er missus) but I have to admit it is a bit of a kerfuffl to quote GT

Some people have upgraded the looms on their trucks, that is meant to make a big difference.

.....so it could have been done as a mod on the vehicle when new?

[That Ruddy Squirrel]

It's an aftermarket mod.
