Headlight replacement
Hey everyone, just bought some new blacked-out halo headlights and new tail lights for my 03 camry. I am looking and am not 100% sure (anymore lol) that I know how to put these new guys on...have looked around and cant seem to find any DIY guides or tips or pretty much ANYTHING for this. Any help? Hoping to have some pics I can post up later of the work

Well as far as the headlights, those should be quite simple. The tail lights you got to do a little more work, but not a whole lot. just simple unscrewing of the panels, and tail light fixtures, replace,and your good to go.
by the way what type of tail lights did you get?

I like the look of them, not too ...out there, i guess is the word... but still very distinct
Unfortunately there was a PAIR of mixups and I STILL dont have the headlights yet, but I will have pics of those as soon as their in...
Thanks for the tips

ooooooK. Got the new lights in (they look GOOD). Went to install them - not at all an easy job.
1) The bumper DOES have to come off. (Not as hard as I had feared - but not as easy as I'd hoped either)
2)there is a "hidden" latch that is extremely hard to get at, even with the bumper off.
3) The lights are a shade too big for the hole. I am going to try to shave some of the plastic housing away to make it fit. It will be riskyI know, but I cant return them now, so its either modify them or let them collect dust. I cant find the camera now, or I would try to snap some shots to show it. They also reqire some electrical modification to get the halo effect - THAT i will not attempt just yet, looks like I'd have to find a way to splice it into a 12v and ground line. Dont know about it yet, but even w/o the halo they look sharp....more soon I hope
