Lube it up those plastic push pins was probably the greatest advice I've ever received on the internet

Always enjoy that you're very detailed and you add your pro and cons of your own work. I too will probably go with cleaning the existing headlights and adding the LEDs thank you for sharing

PRAISE THE LORD FOR THIS COMMENT HAHA. THE '97 RAV FROM PAUL HAS BEEN MY ONLY GO-TO REFERENCE FOR MY '99 RAV. I WAS ABOUT TO HAVE A FAT FIT IF THERE WERE NO MORE '97 RAV VIDS =D

Very helpful, thank you

Dude, you are making killer content! Much appreciated!

This was a great video. You shared exact what we needed to see

Hey Paul do you have an idea where can I find the headlight bulb reflector, one of mine was broke. Or do u have a spare one? Thanks a lot Paul for your well detailed video.

What is the best correct way to place them, with the LEDs facing up, down, or left, right?

Hello, do you know where I can buy the opaque interior reflector 3:15 ? thank you

So a polish + LED bulbs would have been better? :)) great camera work and information as always

Thanks! Yes, although the new headlights look nicer, the old headlights worked much better. I recommend polishing the headlights and getting LEDs. If you must have the brand new clear lenses, buy Toyota parts.

@@LabCoatPaul Yup. DEPO were a bit more expensive than TYC when I recently changed my headlights, but my original Valeo ones were still better. But new Valeo ones were 3 times more expensive, just not 3 times better. Gotta find the best balance if you're not a frequent night driver

Virtually all replacement parts from China, are inferior to OEM Japanese components. I'm done w Chinese parts .No more! Like Paul, experienced Chinese axles are junk I had a new PSteeribg pump, that had 2xs more play than the 109k orig..I threw it in n the trash. Ordered motor mounts .yep ...didn't fit correctly..and a few others ...I kept em too long to return .so there only for emergency parts... BUY OEM JAOAN & Be happy. YES IRS MIRE $..BUT SPEND THE $$ YOUR ALREADY SAVING $ BUY DRIVING A 20 YEAR OLD CAR...BUT WHAT THEY BUILT!

Probleme, après avoir changé les ampoules, je n’ai plus le voyant allumé sur le tableau de bord

The replacement is a straightforward process but my RAV4 has DLR on the headlights,(Canadian model) which cause the headlights to flicker rapidly unless they are actually turned on manually. Can anyone address this problem?. The DLR circuit seems to be a mystery and there is virtually no information on it online.

@LabCoatPaul

The DRL relay receives a signal from the computer and switches ground to the low beams. The ground comes from the left side fender apron. You need to check the DRL relay. Make sure the terminals aren't corroded. Try swapping the relay with another relay that fits. It's possible the ground is bad. Is your car rusty, or has there been body work done on the left front side? Go to my patreon and download the factory service manual that includes wiring diagrams. No subscription required.

Hey hi Paul, my name is Kevin, I'm from Costa Rica, I hope younare doing fine. Paul, today I bough a rav4 2004 however, I'm facing an issue with the passenger's headlight, specifically with low beam bulb, so I noticed through this video at minute 4:30 you showed it up that bulb. Paul, dp you mind by sharing the part number of that bulb? If can, I really appreciate it.🙏🙏🙏

It's an H4 or 9003 bulb

You don't really have to buy new headlights, if the original headlights have no cracks or defects, you can wet sand, then polish compound then wax them for a clean clear finish. That's what I did on my 2004 rav4 they look good as new. Also lasfit led lightbulbs are better quality.

I’d rather replace with a brand new pairs for full crystal clear headlight projector or reflector. U will not get the same results as brand new oem headlight assembly replacement, maybe close but not close enough.

I will agree to that. Lasfit is my #1 the most recommended brand, #2 is Auxito, and my favorite #3 for as a set it and forget led replacement bulbs is sylvania zevo. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Putting led bulbs behind this oxidation headlight will diffuse or disburse the light output like a flood light, and gives an off color temperature like green-ish kind. And it’s no good.

You only get blinded by the wrong type led bulbs. The Auxito - M3 H4 led bulbs that matches the specs as the halogen bulb, will not blind others. That’s a fact. As long as it retains the same beam pattern. That’s good.
