head light issue

[Rheezie]

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.

it depend how and where exactly it broken.
try to find broken off piece and glue it in place.
high temp epoxy should work.

I think the burn is really bad. Even though you can find a used headlight to switch out the back cover (I doubt it can be done, but just try), you can't ensure the proper seal to prevent moisture coming in. If you want a proper installation of a bulb (good cut-off and beam pattern) and free of condense later, you should buy a new headlight.

It looks like the bulb caused this. What type of bulb is that? Did you properly install it?

[molson.david]

yep. looks like you need new headlight or projector if you know how to replace it.
let me know if you need progector or headlight, got some for sale.

^ it's not so hard. Just need to remove the front bumper to get access to all the screws and pop out the headlight unit.

Thanks guys for all your help. New replacement seems to be the way to go.
