How to change front bulbs on a Toyota Camry
No tools are required to change the dipped and main beam bulbs. However, to gain access to the front sidelight and indicator bulbs, a small flat-head screwdriver will be useful.
It is much easier to change the indicator and sidelight bulbs from the wheel arch. To do this, turn the steering wheel (and the wheel itself): to the left if replacing on the passenger side, and to the right if changing bulbs on the driver's side.
Then remove at least two fasteners from the wheel arch liner and pull the liner back to gain access to the bulbs.
Camry V40 Dipped Beam Bulb Replacement
The dipped beam bulb is located in the centre of the headlight assembly. Turn the bulb base a quarter turn anti-clockwise and remove the bulb from the headlight. Then press the release tab and disconnect the power connector.
Connect the new bulb to the connector, insert it into the headlight, and turn it a quarter turn clockwise.
Camry V40 Main Beam Bulb Replacement
The main beam bulb is located in the inner corner of the headlight assembly. It is replaced in the same way as the dipped beam bulb. Turn the bulb base a quarter turn anti-clockwise, remove the bulb, and disconnect the connector. Installation is in the reverse order.
Camry V40 Sidelight Bulb Replacement
The sidelight bulb is located slightly above the light-grey indicator bulb socket and has a black base. Turn the bulb 1/4 turn anti-clockwise, remove the bulb, and pull it out of the socket. Then insert the new bulb into the socket, install it into the headlight, and turn it 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it.
Camry V40 Indicator Bulb Replacement
The indicator bulb has a light-grey socket and is located below the slightly smaller sidelight bulb. To replace it, turn the socket anti-clockwise, remove the old bulb and replace it, install the socket with the new bulb into the headlight, and turn it 1/4 turn clockwise.
