Brother in law broke my tailight last night. Are they hard to replace?

Brothers-in-law? No, but you'll have to divorce your wife.

What year is your Runner? The '96 - '00 use a different style (that requires a different wiring harness) than the ones from '01 & '02. If you replace it with the same style, you don't have to pull the liner - just replace the assembly.
Which side is it? I have an older style laying around (can't remember which side, it's at my office - will check tomorrow) that you can have for free if you pay for shipping.

Took me a minute to get that xD
He's replaceable but she isn't. I guess all great things have their baggage.... But nah he's pretty cool except when he breaks things.

Sorry brother, the one I have is for the passenger side.
Easy to remove, just take out the two screws and use your palm to tap it to the side towards the outside of the truck. There are two pins holding it in:
Then all you have to do is rotate the three connectors holding the bulbs to pull them out and put them in the new assembly.

Ahhh okay thanks for checking
I'll just buy some smoked aftermarket ones I've been looking at for a while..And thanks for the explanation of the light removal.

You could just pull some from a salvage yard. Unless you're looking for a reason to change the taillights anyway!
