In this video we're going to show you how to replace a taillight on this 2002 Toyota Tacoma. You might want to replace it if you've backed into something or something like that. The only tools you'll need are a Phillips screwdriver and a flat-blade screwdriver.
There's four Phillips screws recessed into the light. I'm just going to speed it up as I remove those four screws. Once you remove the screws, behind here, there's a little tab right here, press it down and disconnect. Use a flat-blade screwdriver. There's little clips in here. Push down on the top of the clip and push it out, and up on the bottom of the clip. Push it out. There's another one right here.
New light from 1A Auto comes with those clips already installed, so plug it in here. Guide both of those clips right in. So you've got the clips on the inside part. Now you just guide those screws for the outside in where they're suppose to go. Tighten them up and you've got a nice taillight installed.
