2011 Toyota Camry Headlight Bulb Replacement

Headlight Bulb Replacement is one of the most common repairs for 2011 Toyota Camry. This repair involves replacing the damaged lighting component with a new or refurbished part. The process typically takes 15-30 min and requires easy skill level.

What You'll Need

• Replacement lighting part (OEM or aftermarket)
• Precision screwdriver set (Phillips #000 or pentalobe)
• Opening tools (plastic spudger, suction cup)
• Adhesive strips or glue
• Clean workspace with good lighting

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1:

Pop up the hood of the car.

Step 2:

Locate the headlight bulb on the inside of the hood and hold onto the bulb.

The other headlight bulb is in the same area on the other side of the car.

Step 3:

Turn counterclockwise (1/4 of a turn) to remove the bulb and its attached plug from the socket.

This step is applied for both headlight bulbs.

Step 4:

Hold onto the bulb with one hand while holding down the clip at the bottom of the plug to remove the bulb.

Step 5:

Remove the new bulb from its package.

Make sure to not touch the glass part with your hands. This can cause a hot spot on the bulb, making it burn out faster. Wipe the bulb with a paper towel if contact was made.

Step 6:

Place the bulb back into the plug and press down until it click into place.

The bulb only goes in one way. Make sure the plug and the bulb are facing the same direction.
