Installation (2001-2007 Toyota Highlander)

Tools: flat trim tool or taped flat screwdriver, 10 mm socket and ratchet, masking tape for the fender edges.

1. Open the hood and disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Pry up the 4 push pins across the top of the grille, release the side clips, and pull the grille out.
3. Remove the 10 mm screws along the bottom of the bumper cover and the screw at each wheel-well edge (peel back the fender liner to reach it).
4. Tape the fender edges, spread the bumper cover ends, and pull the cover forward. Unplug the fog lights if you remove it fully; many owners just tilt it forward a few inches.
5. Remove the 2 upper headlight screws, release the snap clip and guide pin, and pull the lamp straight forward.
6. Unplug the connectors and twist out the 9005, 9006 and 3157 sockets/bulbs (counterclockwise).
7. Move the 10 mm mounting pin from the old lamp to the new one if your new housing does not have it.
8. Install the bulbs in the new lamp, plug in, set the lamp on its guide pin and clip, and reinstall the 2 screws.
9. Repeat on the other side, refit the bumper cover and grille, then test all lights and aim the beams against a wall.

Steps based on the Toyota Highlander service manual bumper procedure and Toyota Nation owner write-ups.

FAQ

Do I have to take the whole bumper off?
Not always. Owners on Toyota Nation report removing the top grille pins and the wheel-well screw on each side, then tilting the bumper cover forward a few inches — enough to reach the two headlight screws. Full removal gives more room.

Will these fit my Highlander Hybrid?
No. The 2006-2007 Highlander Hybrid uses a different front end and headlights. This pair is for gas models.

What bulb sizes do these use?
High beam 9005, low beam 9006, turn signal 3157 (bulbs NOT included).

Can I put LED bulbs in these?
Yes. These are halogen housings, so 9005/9006 LED conversion kits fit. Use a quality kit with a CANbus decoder if you see flicker or a bulb-out warning, and re-aim the beams after install.
