I have a 2018 camry se i only have 20k miles on the car. I have noticed that the cars headlights have became very dim i can barely see at night especially when theres traffic on the other side of the highway or road because that feels brighter when you have no lights. I tried looking for replacement but i cant find a connection for the headlight bulb. I was wondering how am i able to replace the factory led’s because this is dangerous.

It actually expired in march. I had to get my sunroof support panel bushing and they wouldn’t do it cuz it was out of warranty cuz its been over 3 years but i had toyota corporate take care of that so they did that but i doubt they would take care of the headlights now since they paid 4k for that

I know what OP is talking about, and as someone who sits in there driveway a lot, the illumination is there and I usually HAVE TO turn my lighta off so I always end up driving with my lights off. everyrime it gets dark enough for me to need my headlights, It seema dim or I constantly have to double check that the auto lamp feature is working
Maybe this is an orientation issue?

Do you have the running lights set at DRL? If I'm remembering correctly, the 2018 Camry SE uses the headlights in low power as the DRL's. So the headlights are technically on, but they aren't running at full power and brightness. It should be the same as the newer Toyota Priuses as well, and in the 11th generation Toyota Corollas. The 2018 XSE actually has an actual running light, so it doesn't use the headlights in low wattage mode as a DRL.

My 2018 XSE does not have any problems with the headlights, and they are super bright so that's my only option that could be it, other than that maybe the headlights are faulty.
