2011 Toyota Sienna Headlight Bulb Replacement

Introdução

If you need to replace a headlight bulb on your 2011 Toyota Sienna, follow this guide.

All headlight bulbs are certain to burn out at some point, and having working headlights is crucial for safe driving. The typical halogen bulb will last for roughly 1000 hours of operation or about five years. However, if you drive on rough roads frequently, they may burn out faster. It's best to replace them as soon as possible if one or both burn out to avoid accidents or a ticket.

Instead of going to a repair shop, save yourself time and money and try the repair yourself! Once you know how, the repair is fairly simple.

Before beginning this guide, ensure that you car's engine is turned off and in park. It's important to avoid touching the new bulbs as the oils on your hands and fingers might shorten the life of the bulb. The oils can create hot spots, causing the bulb to burn out faster.
