Changing front blinker bulbs on Tacomas?

[MOHSHSIHd]

So, um yeah...this question is potentially really dumb, but both of my front blinker bulbs are burned out. I know on some lights you just pull the fixture, and some you have to remove the lens. Anyway, the blinker fixtures on my taco are a bitch to get at from behind...and dont see how you could change the bulbs without pulling the lenses off.


anyway, I cant figure out how the hell you get these lenses off without nearly breaking them...


sorry if this is a really dumb question...

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHH




I need to get my brain checked....

Are you talking about the little guys in the bumper? I think you can get the light out the back from accessing it from underneath the bumper. It's been awhile since I've changed one though.

I meant parking lights, and they were very easy to get the lens off of....




think first, post later

It's been awhile for me too, but I have easily changed both.

The bumper ones, you can reach from behind.

The parking, you open the hood and remove one screw which lets you pop out the whole light fixture. Then you just reach through a whole to turn the bulb out (if I remember it all correctly).

Isn't there some sort of fluid you have to change too?

http://tacomaterritory.com/ will get you all you need to know about Toyota Tacomas, esp. 4x4s. Just like this board, they have their fair share of douchebags and JONGers, so read and search first

Ya, don't forget to add 2 quarts of power lighting fluid.

I would start with a new alternator. If that doesn't work, replace the voltage regulator. If that doesn't help, refill the washer fluid.
