Today my rear right stop bulb gave up life for the first time after 110000km so i got another one from Toyota (a 2 pole bulb with no metal) for 4.15 euro!

Here is a short walkthrough how to change the a bulb of a rear light:

First indication that the bulb has burnt is from the indicator light in the gauge cluster once you turn on your engine release the hand brake and press the brakes:

Once you have found out which ligth has the problem you locate the two caps for the screws that hold the light:

Remove the caps and use a 10mm walnut to remove both screws:

Once the scres have been removed, pull the light towards you from the top.

The bulb for the stop light is the top right. Turn the safety bulb holder 90 degress to the right and the bulb releases from the light.

Then just pull the bulb from the base and replace it with the new one.

The specs of the bulb are: 12v/5w

Once the bulb is ins position place the cables in the cable holder and then aplly the reverse procedure to fit the light on the car

Hi everybody, from today I am offshore at Sardinia/Italy for a month for work. So my project/hobby will pause for a while, but as you have already understood i have internet on the vessel so i will be searching for more parts and of course be online Big Grin. I hopefully will have gathered some parts to install at the end of next month.
