Quick headlight question so I don't break an trim...
I know this is totally dumb of me , but my Tacoma has sealed beam headlamps, a first maintenance-wise for me . i know how totally easy it is when you just slide new bulbs into the lamp housing from behind, but before i bust any trim pieces; is there anything I should know about replace my lamps.
BTW, the always helpful and complete Haynes manul doesn't say a thing about it, they onlt account for non-sealed beams
as always, thanks in advance for the help.

Remove the rubber boot on the back and then you should see a metal clip that you un-snap that is actually holding the bulb in place. Be sure to not touch the new bulb with your bare hands at this time... oil on hands causes them to burn out quick.
