Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to service a taillight on this 2008 Toyota Tacoma. Pretty easy. The only tool you'll need is a 10 millimeter wrench or a socket and ratchet. There were two different styles of lights. You'll see we take one style off and put the different style on.
Open up the tailgate, and then there's two 10 millimeter bolts right here. So, the first one's right here. Those two bolts are 10 millimeters, and I'm just going to speed it up here as I remove them. Once you have those bolts out, we'll pull back on the light, and it comes out.
If you're just looking to service the bulbs, these sockets twist counterclockwise, and it'll come out. Then the bulbs pull straight out from the sockets. If you want to disconnect the entire assembly, there is a connector right here. You press on the tab. Disconnect it.
At 1A Auto, we sell both the regular style light and this is the later style light. It has the chrome ring and clear lens, and so I'll show you it'll go in. It connects just like the original one. We'll put this back in and clip it. Then, obviously, it mounts right in. Just looking through the side here, there are two pins. Make sure that they line up. We'll use a little fast motion here as I start the bolts in by hand and then tighten them up nice and firm. You don't want to over-tighten them. Tighten them nice and firm with your 10 millimeter socket and ratchet or wrench. Okay, once it's installed, we'll do a little test.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

An excellent Taillight assembly with a very prompt delivery.
The assembly fits exactly as the original including having to ream out the Stoplight receptacle to fit the aftermarket LED Bulb that I had installed, just as I had to do on the original Toyota assembly
Great Price & Service

Arrived earlier than scheduled. Easy to order with friendly knowledgeable sales person. Very simple to install, especially with my non-mechanic skill level. Saved $100 vs local OReilly Auto Parts store.
Works like a champ at the right price!

I was a bit hesitant to buy a non-CAPA part, but due to the other reviews I decided to give it a shot and save a few bucks. I'm glad I did. This part slid right in and works as advertised. As an old friend always says, "It fits like sleeves on a vest!"
Great

This was very easy to install - watched the 1A Auto video a couple of times and had it installed in about 10 minutes. And bulbs were included even tho I think I read that they wouldn't be.
Highly recommended!

The item was received time after the estimated delivery. I arrive with a small scrape, but I will use it in those conditions. The shipping and delivery process was complicated.
1A AUTO, is good at his job and is responsible, I hope to make new purchases.
