Default Headlight bulb replacement

One of my headlight bulbs needs to be replaced.

I figured how to do it from YouTube. Does not look hard.

Just curious: Is there a noticeable difference in quality between bulbs from a Toyota dealership and those from or a store like AutoZone? This will be the first bulb I'm replacing on my Camry.

Autozone is fine. Not sure what type of bulb you car uses such a halogen or xenon but get the same type. The Autozone employee can look up what bulb your car came with.

Just wanted to get back to folks on what I did, in case it's of help to anyone.

I simply went to my local AutoZone last month and bought the Sylvania Basic Halogen H11 Headlight Bulb. I got the two-pack, for $31.99, so that I could replace both bulbs (even though only one had burned out). The one that still had some life to it, I saved as a temporary replacement when one of the bulbs goes out. Someone gave me this useful tip. Anyway, this is the bulb link:

The AutoZone manager was kind enough to give me, for free, a grease kit for the bulb (I did not know that grease is helpful):
