Default Replace side runing light RX300

How do you get the bulb back in a side running light on the passenger side.

The hole is small and the socket for the light is off set and I can not get the light back after getting it out. Is there a different way to get at this light other then taking out the storage tray in back out and working through the small hole?


Please advise?:

are you talking baout the courtesy light under the passenger door? if you are you just need a small screw driver to pry it out and if the cover only comes off pry it again on the sides because it is clipped in.

Default Running Light

This light is on the back right on the passenger side on the bumper. The only way I have been able to get at this light is by taking out the storage bin the back right inside the A.K.A. trunk area.

That's exactly the way I had to take the bulb out on mine. Only other way is to take off the bolts that hold the bumper to the wheel well and reach around inside there to get the bulb back in. Give me a few days, maybe as early as tomorrow, and I will show you in another thread how those side marker lights are held into place to give you a better idea.

Thanks for the info on changing this pain in the ...... Lights. If you could find a link that shows how to get at these lights, that would be great!

See my other thread on the Harrier sides. What you have to do is remove the three bolts on the back of the rear wheelwell that hold the rear bumper in place. You will see my cousin Antonio doing this a few times in that thread and then reach around there and stick the light back into place. Not easy, but that is the way we have found to do it.
