Wing Mirror Incidator Bulb Change

[Chris2408]

Hello everyone, I've just recently bought my first Toyota - a 56 plate Avensis (facelift model).

My problem is the passenger side wing mirror indicator has stopped (assume it's just the bulb) but nowhere in the book does it tell you how to take it apart to change it and I cannot find anything online or on this forum. I thought I'd post this before I start forcing bits apart in the hope someone can guide me. Any help appreciated, Thanks.

Sorry about the first reply, I have a hole in the wing mirror indicator and was told by a dealer that the whole unit has to be replaced (£55 + vat to buy the unit), I don't know you do it as mine is being done as part of a service

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Thanks for that, it was crack in the unit and must have let water in. Bought the sealed unit from a dealer at £61.00 inc vat and very easy to change. Pull the wing mirror back panel off, two screws and one electrical connector. As good as new now.

Just purchased a 06 Facelift with the same problem

just prised over the painted cover which exposed two wired plug connector at the end of the light

unplugged and cleaned socket out .... re plug and presto it works 

thanks for the advice no need for a new unit now
