Gen5.5 Headlight removal

[terrynham]

i want to change the headlight bulbs on my Camry to brighter xenon gas filled ones

but the problem is, since i have a V6, the engine bay i really tight
and thus changing the bulbs is really hard. the indicator bulbs and the high beam are ok...
but doing the parking lights and the low beam, there is no way i can fit my hand in there

does anybody know how i can remove the whole headlight assembly, so i get more room to work?

thanks.

Take the whole headlight off. There should be a single bolt on top. Take it out slowly, because you might not know how short the wiring might be. Then, you can take it from there. I'm planning to install HIDs in my Cam. That is after I put in the Gen 5.5 SE headlights.

yeah i tried taking off that one bolt on the top, that lossened it, but the headlight didnt come out
are there some clips holding it in aswell?

i gave up with trying to take it off, so i just changed the bulbs by squashing my hand into the little gap behind the headlight

but just out of curiousity, how do you removed the headlight assembly?

There's three bolts you have to unscrew. The one on top is one of them. There's two more hidden behind the bumper, so you have to take the bumper off. Kind of tricky, so I won't be doing it at home, but in a mechanic's garage.
