How do you change the headlight on a 2006 Toyota Avalon?

Answer 1

Take old bulb out put new bulb in.

Whatever you do if you need a good laugh go to a Toyota dealership and ask them what it would cost, my answer (in writing) $425. I was told they had to drop the bumper and that's why the labor was so high. The cost of the HID lamp was about $175 and labor about $200 give or take, needles to say I looked for a cheaper solution.

After a little investigating on the internet and looking at the lamp which I could clearly see and touch i decided to just see if I can get it out, and with in 2 MINUTES! I had the headlamp in my had and the kicker was didn't use a single tool to do it.

I unscrewed a black cover

removed 1 C style clamp,

twisted a plug counter clock wise to unlock it

pulled it away from the lamp

Depressed a butterfly style clamp

and literally twisted and pulled the lamp out

THAT SIMPLY!!!

The kicker is I went on Ebay and found these type of HID lamps in pairs for under $50 many many choices, a for cry from the $175 Toyota quoted us (in writing)
