Side marker bulbs

How do I remove the side marker bulb on my 2011 Tacoma? Any help is appreciated.

 

Open the hood. On the right and the left are the sockets for each of them. They may be a little tight to twist off, I think there is a rubber o-ring or something to keep water out. Once you have them out the bulb is right there.
Having problems with locating them or getting them out?

 

These guys, right?

 

Thanks for your reply. Having a hard time twisting them out.

 

Yes thats them. Headlights were easy . These guys are tough to get out. Counterclockwise?

 

Yes.
Push it in a bit and turn, if you can. I noticed that the o-ring (or what ever they put in there) makes them tight.
Are you replacing the bulbs? If so, with what?

 

I also noticed that there is not much room to get your hand in to get a good grip in the socket.
That is a pia too.

 

Welcome to TW, btw.

 

I was just trying to use Philips amber bulbs . I appreciate your help and will mess with it today . I didn't try pushing it in

 

Thanks. My second Tacoma and I use it well . Beach ,Fishing, Trailer boat and SUP and surfboards.

 

No problem. Glad to help.
Wanted to know about the bulb replacement because the fit may be looser than what was in there. Just from my experience in what I did, I replaced them with LEDs and they were looser. Wrap the new bulb in with a little tape (I used alum. tape) so the bulbs don't fall out.
Good luck. Post away your questions/concerns. There are lots of knowledgeable people here to help (and a few DBs too) .

 

Where are you at?
What year was the first one?

 

Leveling the front 2 inches this week and get the BF Goodrich KO 265/75/16. Should help in the sand

 

Atlantic City First one was a 05 Sport This one is an Offroad Access cab

 

I am on my third. First was a 90 second was an 01 (brand new) and I am on my 2011 now.
Great trucks.

 

Good luck with that bulb socket. Should come would with a little pressure and a turn. I remember mine being tight too.
Best of luck.

 

Thanks for your help .I got them both done is less than 5 min!!

 

Regarding LEDs in the side markers, were they plug and play? No relays?

 

I just turned them in.Im not sure they are LED bulbs. I got them at Pep Boys but they work fine
