How do you remove passenger side headlight assembly from a 2008 Avalon?

To access the front driver's side turning light of a 2008 Lincoln MKZ, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Open the hood of the car and locate the headlight assembly on the driver's side.
2. Look for the turn signal bulb socket, which will be located at the bottom of the headlight assembly.
3. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to release it from the headlight assembly.
4. Gently pull the bulb and socket out of the headlight assembly.
5. Pull the old bulb out of the socket and discard it.
6. Insert a new turn signal bulb into the socket, making sure it is securely seated.
7. Reinsert the bulb and socket into the headlight assembly and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.
8. Test the turn signal to ensure it is working properly.
9. Repeat these steps for the front passenger side turning light if needed.

It's important to note that the exact process may vary slightly depending on the specific model year of your MKZ, so you may want to consult your owner's manual for more detailed instructions or diagrams.

You need to remove the inner fender liner to access the bulbs. Here is a video explaining how. You must suffer thru a Sylvania Ad first...sorry.


Headlight Change 2005 2012 Toyota Avalon 2008 Toyota Avalon Limited 3 5L V6

some times headlamp units have a plastic retaining clip on the underside of headlamp, does the headlight move from side to side? try to pull the headlight back from the top of unit then lift up the headlamp unit, if not it could be the headlamp adjusters holding unit in place.

2008 328i Passenger headlight assembly removal.

The headlight assembly is held in by 4 "star" bolts (size 25); 2 visible on the top of the assembly, 2 not visible or easily accessible.

The 2 bolts not so visible require that the front half of the wheel well come off and the front bumper or "nose" of the car.... The bumper is what needs to come off, but there are 2 bumper bolts hidden by the wheel well.

The wheel well is held in by 7mm bolts, 2 of which are actually bolted to the bumper on the bottom.

The front bumper is held on with 7mm bolts on the bottom edge, and star bolts, size 25, accessible on the top edge. (Hood open). Here were my steps.

1. Jack up the car on the side you are replacing, remove wheel.
2. Using 7mm socket, remove all the bolts to peel off the front half of the wheel well. With the wheel well out, you can see the 2 other star bolts holding the headlight assembly, but you can only remove one of them... even if you were good enough to get both removed, the headlight assemble will not push out through the bumper.... Keep going with bumper removal.
3. Remove 2, 7mm bolts of the front bumper that are now visible up near the outer edge of the headlight assembly.
4. At this point I removed the bumper's top edge start bolts and bottom edge 7mm bolts about 3/4 of the way across the bumper...
5. The bumper is very flexible and you can now pull it back , reach in, and get that last difficult star bolt on the headlight assembly....
6. Don't forget the one electrical connector....
7. I also recommend testing the new assembly by plugging it in before removing anything

The whole heldlamp assemble is what they call the composite assemble,what part you need are for the carrier,this includes the locking mechanism,

might i suggest its easier to take the headlight out

Hello chinson. When the highbeams are not working, the problem is usually the switch. Since this is a 2008, your warranty will probably be in play. Contact your Toyota dealer before you do a self-repair. Joe
