Review on TYC 17 5196 00 1 Toyota Replacement Reflector by James Pope

2000 RAV4 and Includes Wire/Socket, Housing/Gasket, Bulb and red lens cap. It was easy to install and saved me from having to pay four times as much to replace at the dealer. My original side marker assemblies were so old that both lens caps were cracked and faded and the gasket and lamp housing were deteriorating so I had to replace them entirely. Simply replace the unit through the recess under the red lens cap, which is easily removed by unscrewing the two screws that secure it to the vehicle. However, the cable connector is secured to the inside of the bumper shell a short distance from the recess towards the wheel and access to this location through such a small opening is very difficult if not impossible. Instead, you have to undo three screws (inside the wheel arch, one on top, two more in the back that also attach the fenders if you have them) and then slightly pry open the side bumper cover at the top to gain access to the socket connection. You don't have to remove the bumper cover completely. I also found that the new bushing was too tight and I had to use pliers to push it all the way into the pivot in the car. I also ended up using a small, flexible extension on my cordless drill to get at one of the screws in the wheel well, which I couldn't quite reach with a regular screwdriver because the tire was in the way. (Мои нынешние шины больше, чем шины, с которыми изначально поставлялась машина.) Несмотря на это и тот факт, что я НИКОГДА не работаю на своей машине и почти ничего не знаю о ремонте автомобилей, я смог заменить оба боковых маркера в сборе примерно за 30 minutes. .
