Learn how to change the headlights on a 2007-2011 Toyota Camry, with or without fog lights. I polished my headlights for a couple of years, and that worked for a while. After 2 years, they got so yellowed that I couldn't polish them to clear again. So, I installed aftermarket replacement headlight assemblies. This video will show you how you can do it yourself and save a lot of money versus paying a shop to replace your headlights.
If you just need to change your headlight bulbs, check out this video showing how to do that: • Change Headlight Bulbs...

Did you use OEM Toyota headlight assembly or aftermarket ? If aftermarket, what brand/manufacturer ? Are they of good quality & would you buy them again ? Thanks

@dwcoffey 9 жыл бұрын

Hi Scott, thanks for watching and for your question. I used TYC aftermarket headlight assemblies and would definitely use them again. They were cheaper than OEM and I couldn't tell the difference between them and the OEM lights. I bought them through RockAuto.com (I am not affiliated with RockAuto or TYC in any way), and I have been pleased with both the supplier and the product.

@rkgsd 7 жыл бұрын

Did you see the CAPA Certified versions of those headlights at Rockauto? Not sure they're worth paying more for but supposedly they fit more accurately. After 2 years, how are your TYC's holding up?

@dwcoffey 7 жыл бұрын

Hi, I'm sorry for the delay in answering you...I just now saw your comment. Yes, the lights I bought are NSF/CAPA certified. They fit perfectly and continue to perform as well as they did when new. I've had no problems, no yeloowing, etc from these lights. In fact, I had to replace the headlights on my son's Ford Ranger and I bought the same brand and line of lights for his truck. Thanks for watching!

It's been 2 years now but you don't even have to replace the OEM headlights if they are working properly, if all that's wrong with them is the fade then you could buy a quality restorer like the one 3M sells for $25 or even cheaper restorer like one I recently also tried sold by turtlewax for only $8, the first one will restore them to like new conditions very easily and the second will be pretty close. $1000+ or just $8 lol

Dennis, I just wanted to personally thank you for posting this extremely helpful and detailed video! I hit a deer on my drivers side headlight that broke the insides of the assembly. Body shop wanted $2000 to fix some minor body damage and install a new headlamp. Since my 2007 Camry is 10+ years old, I can care less about the minor body damage. I ordered new headlamp and watched your video 6-7 times = mission accomplished! For future viewers, I want to add it is possible to not remove the entire bumper cover if you only want to remove one headlamp. I just left the pin on the other side of the inside wheel well and that was enough for me to disconnect and remove the assembly and put the new one in.

I turned on all the lights to make sure they all worked B4 tightening the 3 screws to each headlight assembly & B4 reinstalling the front end. No fog lights on my Yaris. Depo was the aftermarket brand of headlight assembly I bought & installed.. They fit perfectly. My vehicle is a 2009 Yaris 4-door Sedan.

I knew I couldn't return the purchase because it wasn't the seller's fault for not knowing the challenge ahead, so I decided to tackle it anyway. I knew the video was about 18 minutes long, which meant with editing and my usual luck that it would turn into a 2 hour job -- minimum. Boy was a I wrong. It took 31 minutes, including gathering and putting up tools and having to go get the headlights out of the house. Thanks Dennis for a very detail instructional video.

Hi Dennis. Thanks so much for the GREAT video. I just installed both sides of my 2007 Camry with TYC headlights. Your video was right on! Local shop wanted about $500 for parts and labor. I spent $140 on parts and only one hour of my labor from start to end of cleanup! Thanks also for the nice editing shortening video where possible and NOT having blaring rock music :)

Thanks for the video. I’ve got a U.K. 2007 RAV4 ( 5 door) which I’m taking to Spain. They drive on the right, so the head lights have to be replaced to accommodate their roads. Garages are quoting €1500.00 to replace. Your video have inspired me to save my money. I’ll change the lamp assembly myself. Only have to get it inspected and MOT when I get there.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

@dwcoffey 7 жыл бұрын

With your car parked on a flat area, measure from the ground to the center of your headlights. Park your car 20 to 25 feet (6 to 7 meters) away from a flat wall and turn on your headlights. You want to end up with the flat, top part of the headlihgt beams to be about 2 inches (5cm) below the center measurement you took on the car. Open the hood and notice that on the back of the headlight assembly, between the headlight and the running light, there is a screw. Typically it has a large washer behind it and it is typically a hex head with a phillips slot. This screw will take a phillips screw driver or an 8mm socket or wrench. This screw adjusts the headlight up or down independently. Adjust each headlight for the desired measurement (2 inches below the height of the headlight above ground). Good luck.
