Corolla headlight removal

[sohail-94]

I wanted to remove my headlights to reseal them as have got some condensation building up inside it. 

Any idea what the easiest way is to get to these as ive been looking all over and for the life of me can't find anything. Thanks

There are 2 bolts under the bonnet and 1 inside the wing, if you remove the arch liner you can get at that 3rd bolt.

I had to remove the headlight to replace a bulb......j found that out the hard way haha.

You don't have to jack up the car or remove the tyre, just pop out some of the plastic screws that hold the arch liner in place and pull it back just enough to stick your arm in with a socket, that's what I did.

Yes I would advise changing the bulbs while you have the headlight out, make sure you change both sides and don't touch the glass bit of the bulbs as this can cause them to fail prematurely.
