Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts, installed correctly that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we'll show you headlight replacement on a 1998 Camry, same as '97 to '01 Camry's. In this video, I'll quickly go through just replacing the bulb for those that might be looking at it for that, and then get into replacing the headlight itself as well. The tools you'll need are a regular flat blade screwdriver, a small flat blade screwdriver, and a 10 mm wrench or socket and ratchet. If you tuned into this just to see how to replace the bulb, I'll do that for you real quick. You look in at the back of the passenger side headlight, here's the washer bottle. You simply pull your connector off. Then you pull this dustcover off. Then this wire, basically, locks the headlight in. You move it to the side and your headlight comes out. Then to replace it, do the same thing. Take the wire, push it in, then lock it into place. Replace your dustcover and plug in your bulb.
It's the same on the driver's side. It is a little more difficult to get to. Remove the parking light by using a screwdriver. There's a little clip right here on top. You pull the middle of the clip up, and then you can kind of get under the clip and pull it out. Then actually at this point, the parking light is just clipped into the headlight and the fender, so you want to firmly- it's a little hairy here- but just firmly pull out on it. Now I'm going to unclip from the fender. Put the rag on the headlight and reach in and gently use the headlight and pop it off. Then the bulb twists out of the parking light.
To remove the headlight, you could reach back in here and unplug just pulls off, the connector just pulls off the back of the headlight. Then there are three, or actually to get it off, there's two 10 mm bolts, here and down here. I'm going to take those off real quick with the air ratchet. You can just use a regular wrench. Here, the easiest way to get this apart here, there is a 10 mm bolt here that you could undo, but this is actually clipped in, so I found the easiest way to get it apart take your screwdriver. What I'm going to do is I'm going to pull; I'm going to apply some pressure this way with my fingers and pry down and then pry up on the teeth. Then I can pull the headlight out.
At this point, if this adjuster is damaged because you had a little accident or something, you can remove it. To get it out, there's a little lock that locks on the bottom. What you'll need is a little screwdriver. There's a slot here that you push the screwdriver through and pry up. Then take a larger screwdriver and work it, basically pry it out. If your adjuster here, though, is in good shape, there's really no need to remove it. I'd only do this step if this adjuster is broken. If your old adjuster is in good shape, there's no reason you can't just leave your old adjuster in there like that.
To reinstall it, put it in. Get that adjuster in. Lock that one on. Get that in place and push it down. Then we're going to put in our bolts. Bolt it in here. This bolt let me use the magic of my power tools. Again, you never want to tighten with a power tool. You only want to tighten by hand so you can control how tight they are. Then I reach in behind and plug the light back in.
Now we'll install the parking light. To install the parking light, put the bulb back in and twist to lock it. Then you have a tab here that's going to go into here, and then this tab that's going to go into the headlight. First, you got to work that underneath. Put the light up against the fender, up against the headlight. Get those back in. Then you've got your clip. Pull the middle up. Push the clip down, and it's locked in place. There you go.
