Hi, new to forum and need help.

I have a 2007 toyota camry se, on my front headlights where the bulb connects to headlight assembly it is broken and no longer holds the bulb in place. Do I need to replace the entire headlamp or is there a way to fix this. currently using electrical tape. Thanks ahead of time.

Sounds to me like the ears are broken off, and you'll have to replace the assembly, they're molded as part of the plastic housing.

Put some high temp silicon and glue the bulb in. if it ever burns out remove the glue and replace the bulb That or you can buy a new headlight.

At least your headlight is not as expensive as the 6.5 gen. I believe I priced one complete for around $160 at Champion Toyota.

if broken piece missing, most likely you need to replace headlight or projector, if you know how to do it.
if you got oiece-glue it.
