1. Materials Needed: Have a new brake light bulb, a Phillips-head screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver, and optionally a pair of gloves to protect your hands.
2. Location of Brake Lights: Locate the brake lights on the rear side of your Toyota Granvia. They are typically inside the rear light clusters.
3. Open the Rear Light Cluster: Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the rear light cluster in place. There may be two or three screws, depending on the Granvia model. Once the screws are removed, gently pry the light cluster out of its housing, using the flathead screwdriver if needed.
4. Remove the Existing Bulb: Once the rear light cluster is accessible, identify the brake light bulb. It is usually a red-colored bulb, but its exact location may vary depending on the Granvia model. Twist the bulb counterclockwise to remove it from its socket.
5. Install the New Bulb: Take the new brake light bulb and insert it into the socket. Turn it clockwise until it is securely in place. Make sure the new bulb is properly seated and won't come loose when you put everything back together.
6. Reattach the Rear Light Cluster: Carefully reposition the rear light cluster back into its original location. Ensure the cluster is properly aligned with the vehicle's body and all mounting points.
7. Secure the Screws: Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to replace the screws that you removed earlier. Tighten the screws until they are secure, but do not over-tighten them as it may damage the light cluster.
8. Test the Brake Lights: Turn on your vehicle's ignition and press the brake pedal. Check to make sure that the new brake light bulb is functioning properly. Both brake lights should illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed.
9. Clean Up: If you had to pry the light cluster open with a flathead screwdriver, be sure to clean any debris or scratches that may have occurred during the process.
Remember, if you encounter any difficulties or are unsure about any of the steps, consult your Toyota Granvia's owner's manual or seek assistance from a qualified mechanic.
