DIY Toyota Tacoma Headlamp Changeout Process and Upgrade [Toyota Tacoma ...

This video shows you the simple process of replacing your headlamps on a Toyota Tacoma. I had just completed shining up the outer headlamp surfaces (see my video on this) with a 3M brand headlight restoration kit but wanted to further improve my night driving visibility. It had gotten so bad that we couldn't barely make out the white line on the side of the roads in certain areas that were not otherwise lit up. The new headlamps are "100%" brighter according to the packaging and cost around $50 at the local NAPA auto parts store. Between cleaning and polishing the outer surface of the headlights and changing out the bulbs, the night vision while driving has improved quite a bit. I was glad I went with the 100% brighter as they actually were not as bright as I thought before installing them. I didn't want to be the jerk out there whose headlights are so bright it appears that the high beams are on. This is not the case with these just in case you were wondering. The new headlamps come with a 3 year warranty as well so I keep the receipt and old headlamps (for backups) just in case I needed to cash in on that warranty. The steps for chaining this out are very easy and are as follows:

No tools necessary.....

Step 1: Open hood

Step 2: Remove electrical connector plug from back of head lamp (it pulls straight out by hand)

Step 3: Remove rubber boot

Step 4. Unlatch holding spring

Step 5: Pull lamp out and install new one

It's just that easy!!!!

DIY Dismantled Dell PC Personal Computer Fan Runs Off Headlamp Battery Pack

There is something satisfying about tearing apart a computer and pulling parts out that may have another use. This older dell computer was just asking to be stripped down. It had 3 fans in it and I happened to have a headlamp around. It was a perfect fit for messing around. The fan will run off 3 AA batteries. I don't endorse or recommend Dell. I've had nothing but bad luck with them and they are cheaply Made in China. Fun to tear apart though. I've displayed a few headlamps down below. Every good DIY technician needs a few headlamps around. You can never have too many headlamps on hand. If you really do need to buy a Dell, I recommend that you don't, there IS a link down below to purchase one.

DIY BELL Brand Bicycle Headlight and Taillight-Assembly, Installation, a...

This taillight and headlight installation was fairly straightforward, however, there were a couple of things that got me momentarily hung up. The very first one was how to to get the batteries in the headlamp. Well there is a button underneath the light right at the point where the strap meets the light casing itself. Press this button and the clear portion of the headlight will detach from the black body. This will allow you to install your three AA batteries. The headlight has three light functions. A dimmer beam, brighter beam, and a strobe blinking function. It's a very nice light and provides an illuminated road or trail in front of you during non-daylight riding opportunities. Very happy with the lighting it provides.

The taillight battery installation is a piece of cake. The casing between the red plastic portion comes apart from the black plastic body portion with relative ease in a prying motion. It does take two hands. This is good b/c you don't want it coming apart on you out on the road. The only hang up with installing this was that if you decide to place it anywhere else besides on you seat post, it's bulkiness can be a little cumbersome as far as ease of fit goes. I decided to place this just below the seat post in the back on the frame portion of the bike. This light has two functions, blinking function and a solid red light. Works well. Here's a super cheap kit just like it.



For the price of these two lights (as a kit) it wasn't a bad buy. There are better and lighter lights out there for bikes, but for the price, ease of installation, and standard AA battery usage, these work very well for non-professional bike riders such as myself.
