Changing LED's In Projector Head Lights - Toyota Yaris Forums

Been there. Baking the headlights is easy (250 degrees in the oven for about 10 minutes). They actually come apart easier than the stock ones. As for the LED's, if you are referring to the halo ones, you don't need to bake the headlights to get those out. Just take the outer wiring apart from the housing and you will see that the halo LED's are easy to pull out. Once you have them out, go to Radio Shack and pick up a set of replacement LED's. They have them in all colors. Match the size as best you can and solder the new LED's in place of the old ones. It's a bit tricky at first, but with some patience it's not hard at all. I jerry-rigged a flashlight to test the new LED's to make sure I knew + and -. As for the 3 upper LED's in each light, those are a different story since they are a completely different LED set-up. I checked everywhere on eBay to get replacements and they are damn near impossible to locate.
