The following illustrations show how to
gain access to the bulbs. When replacing
a bulb, make sure the engine switch and
light switch are off. Use bulbs with the
wattage ratings given in the table.
The stop/tail and rear side maker lights
and high mounted stoplight (convertible)
consist of a number of LEDs. If any of
the LEDs burn out, take your vehicle to
your Toyota dealer to have the light re-
placed.
If one or more LEDs in a stop/tail light
burn out, your vehicle may not conform to
local laws (SAE).
CAUTION
To prevent burning yourself, do not
replace the light bulbs while they
are hot.
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas
inside and require special handling.
They can burst or shatter if
scratched or dropped. Hold a bulb
only by its plastic or metal case.
Do not touch the glass part of a
bulb with bare hands.
Vehicle with discharge headlights—
Do not touch the highintensity dis-
charge headlight’s high voltage
socket when the headlights are
turned on. An extremely high volt-
age of 20000 V will be discharged
and could result in serious injury or
death by electric shock.
Do not attempt to take apart or re-
pair the low beam headlight bulbs,
connectors, power supply circuits,
or related components. Doing so
could result in electric shock and
serious injury or death. Call your
Toyota dealer for headlight repair or
servicing, including replacement of
bulbs and bulb disposal.
NOTICE
Only use a bulb of the listed type.
The inside of the lens of exterior lights
such as headlights may temporarily fog up
when the lens becomes wet in the rain or
in a car wash. This is not a problem
because the fogging is caused by the
temperature difference between the outside
and inside of the lens, just like the
windshield fogs up in the rain. However, if
there is a large drop of water on the
inside of the lens, or if there is water
pooled inside the light, contact your
Toyota dealer.
