Hey all, quick question that I hope you can help with. I drive a good bit (40k/year) and debris is bound to happen. My right turn signal housing got cracked, and a rain storm I drove through forced some water in there which turned brown, not the best sight. The turn signal lamp still works fine. I want to replace the lens cover, and I bought the part for about 65 bucks. The dealer tells me they have to take apart the whole bumper assembly so replacing this will be over 300 bucks. I tend to call BS. Can anyone tell me if this is an easy enough DIY or do I need to let the dealer rake me over the coals for a lens cover?

Thank you all, in advance.

FYI: Removing the bumper cover is what they list in FSM for swapping that housing. Always a chance someone has found an easier way though.

Bummer! How difficult is that as a DIY?

I don't think I have seen anyone do a writeup on that one. Possibly on one of the other Toyota off-road forums.

Personally...I'd try to see if there was a way to change via removal of wheel-well splash molding.

Definietely going that route versus removing the front bumper. Worth the money to avoid that.

My experience with removing the turn signal housings for sound dampening is you can bend the 3 longer tabs all you want but the light won't come out... those are there to help locate the shorter pieces which need pushed with a small screwdriver to release the light housing with some jiggling....discussed in the below thread...
