The Camry has been a pretty good car, but at over 11 years old it's starting to show its age. The headlights were no longer clear and didn't function well. After trying various methods of polishing them with mixed results, I just decided to replace them.
When I was younger I was a Volkswagen guy. I owned three bugs and one fastback. On my 1966 bug especially, I performed almost every maintenance task you can think of. I dropped the motor numerous times, replaced the transaxle, replaced the front and rear suspension, brakes, carburetor, distributor, clutch, etc. You get the picture.
The headlight assemblies on a pre-1967 bug are removed by one large screw. That's it. The Camry? A few more than that.
I watched a YouTube video and got to work. You have to pretty much remove the whole front end of the car. It seems kind of stupid, but what do I know. One of the old, milky headlights is on the right:
I think it took a little over an hour. Hey, it works.
New and clear.
Done.
Another easy DIY that saved some dollars. Time to go buy some bike parts.
Later.
