The bulb assembly needs to be removed from the front of the vehicle. Open the hood, and you will see that the entire plastic headlight assembly is held in place by a few hex head screws. Once these are removed the entire assembly can be lifted out, giving you access to the lamp socket. Replace the lamp (bulb)and reinstall. NOTE _ Be careful not to drop the screws in between the radiator and the grill, as they are hard to retrieve and usually get stuck on the body panel below the bumper. **you can actually avoid taking out the entire headlight if you just remove anything in the way of reaching behind the assembly. on the right side, it would be the fuse box, on the left side you can probably just reach behind if your hands aren't too large. then remove the rubber seal by prying it off. there is a spring clip that holds in the bulb, remove that by sliding it out from behind the bulb, then remove the bulb and replace.

Step1 Shut off the Camry's engine and set the parking brake for added safety. Also, make sure its headlights are switched off.

Step2 Open the hood using the primary and auxiliary hood release latches.

Step3 Locate the back of the headlight assembly and determine whether the low- or high-beam bulb needs to be replaced.

Step4 Turn the headlight bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it from the assembly.

Step5 Unplug the electrical connector from the back of the bulb. Carefully dispose of the bulb to prevent it from shattering or cracking.

Step6 Attach the electrical connector to the new bulb and insert it into the headlight assembly. Twist it clockwise to secure its position.

Step7 Test the new headlight to make sure it works before closing the hood.
