How to Change a 2003 Toyota Tacoma Headlight Bulb

The 2003 Toyota Tacoma uses a single headlight bulb for both the low beams and the high beams. You access the bulb from inside the engine compartment. It is possible for the bulb to burn out a single filament, which will cause the headlight to function in one position and not function in the other. Removal and replacement takes only a few minutes and requires no special tools.

Difficulty:
Easy

Instructions

things you'll need:

  • Replacement bulb (# 9003)

      Open the hood and insert the hood prop into its notch on the driver's side. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. This will prevent shocks and shorts while you work on the headlight.

      Disconnect the headlight electrical connector from the bulb holder by pulling it straight back.

      Grasp the plastic tab on the top of the water shield and pull the shield off.
