need help replacing rear tail light assembly

[TundraBear]

the wife hit something and the tail light assembly is damabed. bulb is still in tack, but it's an eye sore. my initial investigation made me wonder how the heck that put it in there. i can't seem to figure out how it comes out. i'd hate to have to take the whole door apart so i hope that someone here can guide me thru this.

also, anyone have a 2005 sienna parts list?

Howdy all, I am having the same problem. I have a Sienna 2000 xle, and I see the small screw on the back of the tail light but it does not come out of its place. Anyone knows how to get that sienna tail light out without braking the cover (i am talking the light that is on the rear door).. thanks

It would be better if you would have posted your reply. I just tried to replace the light bulb and the little plastic retainers in the front snapped off. What crappy engineering!!! What do I do now?

Try this PDF and use steps 1-5 to get the rear door panel off and access to the lights in the door.

Hi the above PDF file was extremely helpful in fixing my rear brake light. However the high mounted stop light cover just does not come out despite removing the 2 screws. I am scared to force it. All i want to do is replace the bulb. Is there any internal assembly holding on to this or what is the right approach to replace this bulb
Thanks in advance

I think the lens should just pop off for access to the bulb after the screws are removed. I'll have to look at one on MONDAY to be 100% sure.

I'd like a copy of the PDF assy too. My wife just hit a stair handrail and I need to access the tail lights so I could pop it back up - bogey_guy@yahoo.com
