I’d like to know too. I have a 2023 and I can’t seem to figure in out. All the 2022 videos doesn’t apply and the manual say to take all these light replacements to the dealer.
Replacing the Rav4 Prime front marker lights to LEDs
Hello,
I've been slowly upgrading all the incandescent bulbs in the interior and exterior of my Rav4 Prime 2021 to LEDs. I am trying to replace the Front Marker Lights, but having a hard time getting the old bulb out even though it's easy to access. To be clear, it's this bulb I'm talking about:

Inside on the left and right sides is a wire attached to a grey plastic assembly that clips onto a black assembly. I can tell the bulb is inside the black assembly. I can get the grey plastic cover off, but can't get the black assembly out to replace the bulb. I tried turning it but it won't budge. Any advice? Thanks! I tried YouTube but the videos are for a regular Rav4 and it's not the same.

Are you saying the 2023 model year doesn't have LED blinker lights? I thought everything was LED on the 2023 model; I know they upgraded all interior lights to LED and the front headlamps are LED. If that's the case, I'm surprised they would cheap out with the blinker lights.
Please confirm if you know,

Yes, it has blinker lights.
The lights referred to here are side marker lights that we want to replace with brighter ones, but we can't.
If the Prime uses the same connector for an incandescent light bulb as in my 2019 gas Limited, I replaced mine with these amber ones. I tried a few extra light ones, but the white washed out the amber color of the reflector. Once I got the amber ones, they were much better.
These are the one I have installed:

According to the 2023 manual, the only non-LED bulbs are the rear turn signals and backup lights. All other bulbs are LED and are not user replaceable.Are you saying the 2023 model year doesn't have LED blinker lights?

Thanks for all your help, people! I used pliers to turn the bulb housing to get it out, but went slowly and was successful. My marker lights are now nice and bright See before and after pics. These are the bulbs I used. Happy Rav4ing
