bulb replacement

Well i dont' know exactly which one your talking about but i will cover both that i think yyou are talking about.

The first is the one that is directly next to the headlight.
there will be a phillips head when you have the hood open that is at the very corner of the engine bay. it is to connect the marker light to the assmebly. once that screw is taken out pull the marker light out towards the front of the car. twist the bulb socket and out pops a 194 # bulb.

The next one is the turn signal on the bumber its self. there will be a screw (philips head pretty shore not done this one on this car) . take out and the turnsignal light will pull out about 2-3 inches then you pull it out to the side. i dont know that number bulb but that should help you a lot.

Thanks for the tips guys
yea its the turn signal driver side im trying to replace
i guess i have to unscew the face plate off the bumper in order to have access to the bulb?
i was just outside and there is absolutely no way anyones hands can fit through the engine bay doing it from inside the hood

the screw for the corner light was loose thread so i had to jam screw driver and unscrew the for the signal light got the bulb out and yep its kapooot.

what a mess i had to use a piece of scotch tape yep thats right scotch tape
to keep pressure down on the bulb... how gheto
and now all is fine... not to impress on how toyota did the design on this..
