can't take the bulb off...took the rubber thing off already

[ignore this - it was directions for high beams]

do you need a screwdriver to take those out..I saw it bu ti don't know what to do with it

Headlights, Low Beams H7 HALOGEN 55watt

from page 210 of the owners manual...

...

to replace the headlights (low beams)...

remove the clips from your engine plastics.
remove the engine plastics - in doing so, also remove the washer hose from the notch on the cover

unplug the headlight electric connector (if the connector is tight, wiggle it)
remove the rubber cover

release the bulb retaining spring and remove the bulb along with the socket. install new bulb into the socket and return the bulb retaining spring to its original position.
(to install a bulb, align the tabs of the bulb with the cutout of the mounting hole)

install the rubber cover with the "TOP" mark upward, and snuggle on the boss. Insert the electrical connector.
(make sure the rubber cover fits snugly on the connector and the headlight body.

Aiming is not necessary after replacing the bulb. When you believe aiming adjustment is necessary, contact your Toyota dealer

last step - re-install the engine plastics
(always notch the washer hose before fastening it when installing the engine plastics. This prevents washer hose damage.)

yea like isaac said your owners manual takes care of everything dont worry had the same problem afterwards youll be like i feel so dumb

ok but i don't have the owners manual

...and this is why I posted the directions STRAIGHT FROM the owner's manual

After you remove the rubber seal. All you have to do is push the metal clip in and release.

make sure you put the rubber seals back on properly.

yes make sure the rubber seal is fully on and in the c rrect position...
good luck!

one question...do you unscrew the screw to get teh metal clip out.

no...it is clipped on...hence the metal CLIP...
you have to push down then pull out and it should unclip it...
