Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to service a taillight on this 2008 Toyota Tacoma. Pretty easy. The only tool you'll need is a 10 millimeter wrench or a socket and ratchet. There were two different styles of lights. You'll see we take one style off and put the different style on.
Open up the tailgate, and then there's two 10 millimeter bolts right here. So, the first one's right here. Those two bolts are 10 millimeters, and I'm just going to speed it up here as I remove them. Once you have those bolts out, we'll pull back on the light, and it comes out.
If you're just looking to service the bulbs, these sockets twist counterclockwise, and it'll come out. Then the bulbs pull straight out from the sockets. If you want to disconnect the entire assembly, there is a connector right here. You press on the tab. Disconnect it.
At 1A Auto, we sell both the regular style light and this is the later style light. It has the chrome ring and clear lens, and so I'll show you it'll go in. It connects just like the original one. We'll put this back in and clip it. Then, obviously, it mounts right in. Just looking through the side here, there are two pins. Make sure that they line up. We'll use a little fast motion here as I start the bolts in by hand and then tighten them up nice and firm. You don't want to over-tighten them. Tighten them nice and firm with your 10 millimeter socket and ratchet or wrench. Okay, once it's installed, we'll do a little test.

Let's get this installed. If you look right here, you're gonna see a 10-millimeter-headed bolt. And then of course, there'll be another one located at the top of the lens. Let's remove those. Go ahead and grab that assembly. Give it a little tug. It's gonna wanna draw out in this direction. So just kind of grab it, see if you can pull out and straightaway. If for some reason you can't, you could try using a trim tool, a nice plastic trim tool, and try to come in between here. Just be careful for your paint. Now you can see the back and we can see our wiring harness. We need to disconnect this as well. If you look right here where my thumb is, you can see a little squeeze tab. Of course, around the spider webs. We're just gonna squeeze that tab and it should pop off. Take a peek. Make sure you don't see any funny colors. This looks great, let's continue.
Now it's time for the install. Boy, does this look nice. I'm gonna grab this connector. I'm going to turn it, try pushing it. So now that we have that connected in, I'm gonna put in my little tabs and slide this in straight. Okay. I have the tabs lined up along the side. Now we're gonna to take our two mounting bolts. We'll start them both in before we tighten neither of them down. Both of those are nice and tight. Let's close the tailgate. Now we're just gonna check to make sure it lines up all around where it should, it's mounted properly. This looks great. At this point, the process would be the same for the other side. And of course, we're gonna check to make sure it functions as it should.
