Toyota Repair: 1998 Toyota RAV4 rear brake light bulb replacement, phillips screw, toyota rav4


Question
I am needing to replace a right rear brake light bulb on a 1998 Toyota RAV4.  It is the bottom bulb on the assembly.  How do I  get into the back of the assembly to replace the bulb.  Thank you in advance for your advice.

Answer
There is a small metal cover just below the tail light lens, open the rear door until uou can see the phillips screw on the cover and remove it, pull the cover off, there are two 10mm bolts connecting the lens to the body, remove them and pull the lens off you can then get to the bulb socket to remove the bulb.
