Toyota Hiace Headlights And Foglights

[Moogdrew]

I have just had to change a headlight bulb and have had a foglight bulb go so as it took me so long to find someone who could point me in the right direction of how to do this i thought i'd wright it down for others to use.

This is on a 1993 k reg hiace super custom limeted.

First you have to take both the indicators out - this is done by removing the screw on the back of the indicator in the door pillar, removing the black trim and pushing it out from behind.

Then you have to remove both the sidelights - they are held in by one screw behind the indicator that holds the chrome trim that the sidelight is set in to - as far as i can remember you have to push them forwards from behind too.

Now you can get to the screws that hold the top of the grill/front pannel on (on the end of the thin bits that go over the headlights) once youve removed the srews the rest of the grill is held in by a row of about 5 plastic clips along the bottom of the grill so you have just got to pull and hope!

Once the grill is off the headlights are removed with 4 bolts and you can change the bulbs.

The headlight bulbs are standard but the foglight bulbs are weird even toyota said what the hell is that! but apparently you can use a standard H3 foglight bulb you just have to add a wire to the bulb holder to plug in to the negative on the connector

Hope this is usefull to someone
