Description from the creator

Hi, this is a video of how to change a 2005 Prius Headlight on the passenger side. It is not easy, it is frustrating, and it can hurt a bit... But, the Toyota dealer by my house said it would cost around 1 hour of labor, and be around $130 plus the bulb, so I decided to do it myself. First remove all the screw rivets. Next remove the tube piece on the left hand side. Next remove the electrical connection to the bulb. Then rotate the rubber holder clockwise to open it. Next pull it off. Then somehow get that metal latch to release the bulb. Then take the bulb out. Replace the bulb, be sure not to touch the bulb with your naked hands, or get anything on it, it will destroy it prematurely. Then put it back in the headlight spot, somehow reattach the latch, place the boot over the prongs of the bulb, turn it counterclockwise to lock it, put the electrical connector back, and you should be in business! It was not easy, but it is rewarding (if and ) when you complete it. There is not much video of the intricate steps, but there is a simulation of some of it, as it is not possible to get a camera in there, let alone see what is going on when you are replacing the bulb! Comment with any questions and good luck!
