Headlight and Taillight Installs
Alright, I've searched everywhere, and I mean everywhere. I need to find out how I can remove both my headlights and taillights from my 2000 SC300 so I can put new ones in. The front ones are becoming an irritant with e fogging up problem and the tail lights needed a change. So, can I get any help here? Because I don't want to start removing pieces I don't need to. Plus it'd help getting info from others so I could remember what to do.
Anyways, help a guy out?

Didn't search hard enough man.. there's a billion threads on this.
For the tails: remove the plastic trim where the trunk latch is, the whole piece should pop off. Then pull the carpet forward and you will expose the screws holding the tails. Loosen those, pop the tails out and unscrew the wiring harness for each bulb.
For the headlights: there are bolts on the top, and there are some inside under the fender. You need to jack the car up, or if your hands are small, just turn the wheel. Remove the splashguard and there are two 10mm nuts that need to be taken off from each side. If you want to remove the high beams you gotta remove the bumper

Anyways, thanks for the help man. Looks like I'll need to remove the bumper as the high beams are getting replaced too. Any advice on that?
