    Great video- I was able to change the tail light in about an hour, but it’s a tricky job. I recommend a magnetized 10mm socket so as not to drop the nuts. Also, sliding the new light into place took about ten minutes of fiddling. But glad I didn’t have to go to the dealer. Total cost was under $100.

    Many thanks for the excellent video. One question: is there any difficulty in detaching and reattaching the weather seal? Any clips we should watch out for? Or does it simply slide back into the channel?

    Mine had tabs in it along with the 3x 10mm Hex Nuts. I didn't realize where those long tabs were and broke them off. I guess some '06-'12 Rav4's don't have those because I didn't see you mention them nor have to unclip anything

    My 2006 Toyota rav4 tail light stop working all of a sudden. Assembly is just fine. Not sure if your video is explaining how to replace bulb only since your description says rear lamp which is pain in the neck for people like me. I don't think its really that easy and my cargo area is full of junk. Too much work.
