Replacing a headlight bulb on a 1999 Toyota Camry may seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually a simple process that can be completed in under 30 minutes. With a few basic tools and a little patience, you can save yourself the cost of a mechanic and have your headlights shining brightly once again.
Before you begin, gather your tools: a new headlight bulb, a Phillips head screwdriver, and a pair of pliers. Next, open the hood of your Camry and locate the headlight assembly that needs to be replaced. There are two headlights on each side of the vehicle, so make sure you identify the correct one.
Once you’ve located the headlight assembly, use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two screws that hold the assembly in place. Once the screws are removed, gently pull the assembly towards you until it comes free from the vehicle. Be careful not to pull too hard, as you don’t want to damage the wires.
