Geez, I remember when changing bulbs took less than two minutes - pop the hood, change the bulbs, close the hood - those were the good ol' days.

Thank you very much for the excellent instructions. I never expected to take the front grill off my truck to replace a headlight bulb but these instructions helped me through the process.

Back in the day I always had a service manual to help out when replacing parts. People taking the time to provide/upload videos rocks. I found both bulb change videos online (wheel well skirt and this front grille method). Went this route where I thought I’d need full access to pull off the rubber bulb grommet and work the hold down clip. This method really was not bad at all. Nothing broke. Roughly took 2 hours to do both sides and also realized both side marker bulbs were out. This method just worked for me. (BTW - Takes 5 minutes to change my wife’s Honda Accord bulb). - Thanks for the read (2015 Tundra).

1A Auto, thanks for posting such a thorough video with detailed commentary. Those guys posting the "Change your Tundra Headlight in 7 Minutes" are breaking tabs and scratching lenses. They understandably edit all their "F-ups" but that also means a lot of video gets edited that I'd want to see ie: which steps can be tricky. I hate that it's this hard to change a light bulb on my truck but thanks to you it's still doable without taking it to the dealer any paying their crazy high prices and fees.

Great video...I was able to replace my headlights today and I didn't break anything. The most challenging part is removing the grill with the four clip on the bottom. TIP: After removing the top bolts and clips, pull the top of the grill that down just a few inches. If you shine a light into the side of the grill, you can see the top clip that you are supposed to push down on. I used a very long screwdriver to push it down and the right side popped right out...gently hold the grill up and then go to the other side and repeat. I have no idea how the mechanic knew where to push down on, I wasn't able to see the clips at all from that side.

Always detailed and concise directions! It's a few more steps and part deconstruction than replacing my Dodge Ram bulbs, but we'll worth it. I traded my Ram for a much more reliable vehicle,Tundra, and most likely will purchase another Tundra in another 15-20 years or 200,000+miles, which ever comes first! Thanks again for your excellent instructions!!

@skipragsdale3565 6 ай бұрын

Thanks, Worked well, even on a 23 deg afternoon! Your instructions are clear, concise, without a bunch of unnecessary blabbering!! Sadly, someone before me has broken the lower driver's side clip, I suspect the dealer because they're the only ones to ever change the bulbs on our Tundra.

Awesome video !!!! Made changing out the factory halogen bulbs WAY easier !!! Side note: I also replaced the halogen fog lights with LEDs as well , while you have the head light assembly out , you can get right to the fog light harness very easily without having to remove the clip holding the harness to change out the bulb. Thanks again for posting!!!! Saved $$$$

So just a tip, the tabs for the grill I never was able to get to. I did end up breaking one off but it still stays in place fine. A personal recommendation is if you are looking to replace your headlights I would bite the bullet and replace the fog lamps at the same time so you can reach the tab holding the wires back with ease from above where the plastic corner panel would normally be.

Easy fix, and if you convert it to LED you'll most likely only have to do it ONCE the entire time you own it (even if you milk it for 1,000,000 miles, which is only possible with a TUNDRA). Good luck with those other truck brands! Seriously though, good luck...
