My only comment would be to test the lights prior to reassembling everything. Other than that it's one of the best how to videos I have ever seen. Very concise without missing a step.
you don't have to remove the bumper cover. Just loosen it from the wheel well and pull it forward about 4 inches and you can get a 10mm on the headlight bolt from the side. save a lot of time
Really. Cause that would save a lot of time. What screws need to be taken out to make room to get the headlight out? I know you said wheel well... Anthing else?
Awesome video. Makes it look so easy. Now I'll have to see if I can do it without the lift. I'm amazed you had to disassemble the front end of the car to get it done. Leave it to engineers to come up with that, but oh well.
Car manufactures make things more difficult for people to work on their own vehicles in hopes they will bring it in to the dealership to let them work on the it, good thing there are videos like this to give people the know how on how they can do things themselves & dont need to pay the dealerships big bucks to work on their vehicles.
This was an awesome video, it was step by step as I felt like I had someone over my shoulder telling me exactly what to do. Couldn't have been any better for my 2012 Camry EXL. Thanks to 1A Auto.

Good vidja. If you’re only changing out one light assembly you really only need to take out the top pins and guards that are under the hood. Also to make sure the fender well can be totally moved aside, you only need to remove the splash guard screw under your car that attaches the fender well to the bumper cover. The fender well removal isn’t optional. The only reason she removed the splash guards under the car is because she used a lift. I used ramps and rested the bumper cover on a cooler. Still not “easy” per se, but not hard. You just have to take so many retainers out and carefully pull the bumper cover off.
How much does this normally cost. I was thinking about doing it myself but this is a lot of work plus I’d lose all those screws or forget where they go.

+mrsemifixit Thanks for checking us out! It is more than likely that a clip for the bumper was missed causing some sag on that side compared to the other side. If you run into this, always go back and double check everything was fastened together.
@@1AAuto Thanks for replying. But actually it’s not sagging it’s sitting slightly higher than the passenger side headlight causing a gap at the bottom where the bumper meets. Could it be a defective headlight? As I tried to adjust and no way to make it sit lower
+mrsemifixit It is a possibility for sure. Another thing to check would be to make sure one of the mounting tabs wasn't tightened more than the others causing a "pull" from the over tightened bolt. It would be hard to tell due to not seeing the install for the driver side on this video, those are just a couple of issues we have come across in the past with headlight installations.
This has me messed up. My 05 Lincoln's headlights were held in by 3 bolts and didn't require any body panel removal to take off. why is it that every car these days has bolts and clips hidden beneath body panels?
Awesome video. I have a 2015 XSE Camry. I must say this is the stupidest engineering by Toyota to have to take out the whole damn bumper just to replace the headlights assembly. STUPIDEST ENGINEERING EVER!!!. I dread 😫 having to replace my mine one day.

Excellent video- perfect. No nonsense, music or etc. This helped me do the same job on my Camry. Thank you!

+Doodad Uhcree Thanks for the feedback!
Be aware: you WILL need a ratchet set. Not all of them are Phillips heads options
Great video 👍🏼
Thanks! That made it pretty easy.
Couldn't be more easier demo and still pretty overwhelming for me but thanks i hope i remember the nuts places.when i remove them lol
Where can I get that awesome swivel socket wrench
I agree. I checked the link for a socket set and it was just the standard tools - not that awesome swiveling ratchet.
The fact that you have to take the dang front bumper off to change the light assembly is ridiculous
this helped a whole lot and i was able to change mine in under an hour...Thanks!

Great video can you just do mine too I don't have the time or patience not my specialty you make it seem easy great job!
Excellent video! I really appreciate it!
Great instructions! We’ll presented. Thank you!
Thanks for showing us the easy way
Well done. No issues except one plastic fastener died...
How much does this normally cost.
I was thinking about doing it myself but this is a lot of work plus I’d lose all those screws or forget where they go.
Great job on doing this video very helpful and a WOMAN did it...I LIKE!!!

Hi there ! Any possibility you could do this for 2019 camry?
+Vladimir Zhdanov We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1AAuto.com
Ohhh Snap! Thats a lot of work. What happened to the old school 2-3 screws to remove, replace, put screws in and he done?
It’s a Toyota…
I need that ratchet tool you’re using where can I find that????
I want to know the name of that ratchet tool!! I need one! Please!
11:15 Bumper tabs need to slide into that clip they are off a few mm
When ordering a headlight assembly from the site is the beam pattern aligned like the factory head light unit?
Do you have a tip for the headlight adjustment?
Any idea why the gap between the headlight and bumper on the driver’s side is wider than the passenger side after doing this?

Wow I think I'd (almost) rather visit the Dentist!
Gonna try polishing up the OE ones, seems like about 1,000 times less hassle.....
I tried that. It doesnt last
Looks like you don’t have to worry about the bumper tabs that go to the Fender just tear it right off?
+Bondo Thanks for the tip!

Great video thanks
what type of headlight they are? It is HID Xenon or Bulb Type
Seriously!!?? Just to replace the headlamp assembly? That's just stupid, thanks for showing us how to do it.
does a 1 auto have the tan ceramic light bulb holder available the tan one from the Toyota assenbly
Is it possible to use a 2015 XSE headlight assembly halogen on a 2015 XLE?
So I need to replace just the plastic lens that was shattered by road debris. Do I have to do all that?
+Paul Collum It is a sealed unit, just the lenses aren't able to be replaced. Thanks for checking us out!
I bought these headlights for a 16 Camry, do I need to swap the bulbs over as well?
Did the headlight blubs come with the new headlight assembly?
Yes, with Morimoto HID.

AGREE!! You cannot tell me that a huge company like Toyota couldn't come up with a better design.
Shit I have to go do it at garage
WHAT A JOKE! nice job TOYOTA
Right you have to take the F---ING whole car apart to change the light assembly! What a F---ing JOKE!
Yep, I have a 2015 XSE. I dread having to do mine one day
