How to Change Headlight Bulbs on the Toyota RAV4

A compact crossover (a small sport-utility vehicle based on a car platform) produced by the Japanese car manufacturer Toyota, the RAV4 was the first of its kind. It debuted in Japan and Europe in 1994 and was launched in North America in 1996.

It was designed for consumers that wanted the benefits of driving an SUV but the economy and maneuverability of a small car. RAV4 stands for “Recreational Activity Vehicle; 4-wheel drive” although not all RAV4s have this option.

The Toyota RAV4 Headlight is a very integral part of the car. However, it is also one of the most ignored and disregarded parts as well.

People often do not even think about their headlight until it starts to become damaged or malfunctioning in some way. Then, they realize how much they miss having a good working light and will go so far as to buy an entire new assembly.

The Toyota RAV4 Headlight assembly is one piece that contains everything necessary for both placement and illumination. It includes the housing, bulb, lens, reflector bowl/cup and even mounting bracketry.

For this reason, many people are surprised when they find out how little each part costs on its own.

A lot of mechanics and auto parts store clerks will even try to convince the customer that they need an entirely new assembly. The part of the headlight which is most likely to fail first is the bulb. It only costs about $15-$50 depending on where you go. Replacing it yourself can save a significant amount of money.

Owners of the fourth-generation RAV4 (2013 to 2016 model years) will find this maintenance guide in changing burnt-out low beam and high beam bulbs very helpful.

It may also be used as a reference for the newer RAV4 models, as there are very few differences in the steps.

In the same way, owners of other Toyota vehicles like the Yaris, Matrix, Camry, Corolla, and Land Cruiser can also use this as a guide. It can even be used by owners of Lexus or Scion vehicles in changing the headlamp bulbs of their IS250, ES350, GS350, tC, xD, iQ, and FR-S.

Replacement headlamp bulb part numbers are #9005 for both the low and high beam headlamp bulbs. You will need a flathead screwdriver to remove the washer fluid hose on the passenger side.

You might want to change the bulbs on both left and right headlamps so you will have even illumination on both driver and passenger sides. Keep the old yet functioning bulb as a spare.

Toyota RAV4 Headlight Bulb Replacement

To replace the headlamp bulbs in your RAV4, follow these steps:

Step 1

Pop the hood and look for the windshield washer filler hose on the passenger side. Once you’ve found it, disconnect this. This provides better access to the headlight housing on the passenger side.

Using a flathead screwdriver, lift or pry up the center of the black plastic rivet. Pull it entirely out of the socket and set it aside in a safe place.

Move the filler hose away from the headlamp housing. You might want to tape the hose to the side to keep it from moving and getting in the way.

Step 2

Look for the low beam bulb compartment. This can be found near the outer part of the headlight assembly. Push down the release tab on the black plastic electrical connector, then slowly slide it off.

Step 3

Turn the round black plastic dust cover anti-clockwise to loose it. The wires will keep the cap attached to the plugs on the base of the old bulb.

Pull the retaining clip on the blue plastic contact before you slide it off the old low beam bulb. Carefully turn the base of the bulb anti-clockwise, then remove it from the socket.

Step 4

Insert a new bulb into the low beam compartment of the housing. Make sure it has part number #9005. Turn the new bulb clockwise until it locks into place.

Push the blue plastic power plug onto the contacts on the base of the new bulb until it clicks firmly into place. Put the round plastic dust cover back into its previous position then rotate it clockwise until it is securely in place.

Step 5

To change the high beam bulb, look for it near the middle of the headlamp housing. Press down carefully on the release tab on the black of the black plastic electrical connector. Slowly pull the plug away from the base of the old high beam bulb.

Step 6

Turn the base of the old headlamp bulb anti-clockwise. Once loose, pull it out from the headlamp assembly. Insert a new #9005 bulb into the high beam socket.

Rotate it clockwise to lock the bulb in place, then connect the black plastic electrical connector to the metal contacts on the bottom of the new bulb.

Make sure the connector clicks into place, as you wouldn’t want your headlights to flicker erratically while going over rough roads or bumpy terrain.

Step 7

Test your new headlamp bulbs by switching them on and flicking the headlight control lever from low beam to high beam.

Step 8

Put back the windshield washer filler hose in its original position.

Sometimes, vehicle owners aren’t satisfied with the brightness of their car’s headlamps. Other owners may have poor eyesight and need stronger illumination of the road ahead while driving at night.

For them, inadequate lighting is no longer a problem, since advancements in automotive technology have made it possible to install brighter lights on their vehicles.

Most late-model or current cars come from the factory already fitted with projector-style headlamps.

Some newer cars may have xenon high intensity discharge (HID) lamps as optional equipment, while the more expensive, higher-end marques may have them as standard.

Xenon HID lamps produce an intense, bright beam of light that easily illuminates even the darkest roads at night. With this kind of lighting system, driving at night is much easier and definitely a lot safer.

To modify or upgrade your car’s headlights, you will need an aftermarket conversion kit. This is available at most aftermarket accessory shops and also online. Many companies, like Bosch, Philips, XenonHID, and XtremHID, manufacture xenon HID conversion kits.

These conversion kits usually come with the necessary components like electrical harnesses, ballasts, relays, and capacitors.

Of course, you have to make sure the kit is applicable to your vehicle, so it’s best if you buy these kits from a reputable vendor. They can give you the best advice on what kit to use with your car.

Some of them can even provide an electrician to do the conversion for you, if you feel that you would rather have a professional undertake the job.

If you want to do the conversion yourself, you can use these videos as a reference:

Whether you do the conversion yourself or have a professional do it for you is your decision. However, it’s certainly a good idea to have brighter lights at night, since it makes driving easier and safer.
