4th Generation HELP: Headlamp bulbs changing.

I'm thinking to change the bulbs on the headlamps on my 2000 Camry V6. I read the owner's manual, it says there is a low beam bulb and high beam bulb. I looked at my car, there seems to be only two bulbs per headlamp.

What about the Day Time Runing light? Was that used in high beam? I know the low beam was on the other side.


Also any tips about changing the bulb. Last time I did it, I was very careful not to touch the bulb, and I didn't. But somehow I got it fogged up inside, so I'm so scared that I screwed up again.

Whatever you do, be sure to note the exact way everything is placed in and you'll be fine. When I changed my road light this little springy metal thing that hold the bulb socket inside the housing made me swear my ass out until I took the cover off the other headlight to realize I needed to clamp it down and keep it pressed against the housing to put the screw back. Just a stupid thing took me 15 minutes too long...

DRL's are typically high beams powered with a lower voltage.

this should help:

Also, if you touch the bulbs, be sure to clean it off with alcohol before installing.

its possible, but it takes a little work to properly retrofit projectors into the headlights. never just use plug n play hid kits... you'll just cause massive glare to other drivers and it probably won't improve your lighting by much.
