Camry :: Baking Headlights With Non-HID?
Feb 18, 2016
isn't baking headlights black something typically done with HIDs due to the projector pattern? Whereas halogens and similarly-bright LEDs will have reduced performance because they rely on the chrome reflections of the housings?
I'm gonna be running CREE 5700K LED low-beam headlight bulbs on my 07 LE (can be found on Amazon for $80-130), and I'm thinking I might black out most of the housing, except for the reflections around the low-beam bulb. Is this sound?

07 Camry LE. My headlights are too dim and I am trying to figure out what bulb to replace. Are the nighttime headlights the same bulb as the DRL lights or is it the same bulb that produces the high beam light? The manual doesn't list a low beam bulb.

I have an 02 solara sle with the v6, last week during hurricane sandy my car filled with water probably a little above center console. I got the car to run and drive but now I can't get the headlights/rear lights to turn off even with the key out. Also the horn doesn't work, and when the battery's connected I get relays randomly cycling on and off under the good.
I called a toyota dealer and told him my problem and he asked if the car was flooded so it seemed like he has experience with this problem. He suggested the integration relay and told me it was under drivers dash I couldn't find it tho, all I really see is the big fuse box and a cruise control module.

I am looking to install HID lights into my headlight. Successfully i have installed the regular hid into the headlamp for regular use lights. Now i have a question on the high beam which is together with the Drl. Do i have to get a bixenon kit for this socket to get the drl running and the high beam when selected? Or can i just install a regular lo/hi hid. And will it send low output for the drl and then when selected for the high beam it will function as it should?

My headlights are getting foggy and I don't feel like polishing them anymore. I had it done about year and a half ago and the yellowing is coming back.
I heard TYC replacement headlights assemblies are decent and they are cheap.
How's the fit/quality etc, specifically on gen 5s?
I am talking about straight replacement retaining the OEM function. Not into HIDs and all that stuff at all.

I can't figure it out to have only the fogs on without headlight. Every time fogs come on headlights must be on..

It's not what I did, but what I would like to do. My headlights are aimed too low and I have not been able to figure out how to raise them.

The headlights on my 2012 Camry are not automatically turning on and off. Is there some type of setting that I need to setup in order for that automatic feature to work?

2007 Camry LE. I keep my headlights in the AUTO position and have had two instances recently where they did not come on, and it was plenty dark enough that they should have. I was able to turn them ON, then back to auto, and some sequence of that finally got them to come on while on AUTO, but it was a little scary. I had other drivers flashing their lights at me so I would turn mine on. I guess I'll have to check every time from now on.

The headlights on my dad's 2003 Camry has yellowed up really bad and I can barely see anything when I'm driving it at night. I'm thinking about buying a restoration kit for it or just replacing the entire headlight assemblies. I like the look of some aftermarket for the Gen 5 and 5.5. I just wanna know if I should buy aftermarket headlights or just replace them with OEMs. which headlight restoration kit is the most effective?

2003 xle with foggy headlights. Bought some aftermarket units.
Looking for the straight skinny on getting them out. Some have told me I have to drop the front bumper. Seems extreme to me.

I feel like the stock 2014 camry se headlights and fog lights are WEAK! I cant see the road that well so I was looking at doing some HID conversion on both fog lights and headlights.

I have an 07 Camry LE and I bought a Kensun H11 HID slim ballast kit they worked great for a while but I had one go out on the passenger side, the ballast stopped working so I bought another kit and replaced both sides with brand new bulbs and ballasts so I would know they both would work as they are supposed to This worked for a while then suddenly the drivers side light is no longer as bright as the passenger side I tried replacing the bulb with a spare new one I had and still same light output I know overlap makes the passenger side look brighter but even against the wall they're different
You can see in the pics how one is a nice bright light with the cutoff and the other looks more like a reflection of the light I still have stock projectors by the way and I know I still need to do the squirrel spotters but not yet sure of best way to do it

I have a 2007 Camry XLE 6cylinder...131000 miles on it.
I have just begun to notice that when I begin driving off with the vehicle at night, the headlights flash once. All 4 headlight lamps have been changed once and 2 of them have been changed twice in the past 8 months. I just replaced the high beam on the driver's side about 6 weeks ago, and now that same bulb is gone again.
The garage has done all the changes except the last one which I replaced with a Sylvania 9005 bulb. It is behind the battery which was a pain to change. This time I will remove the battery hopefully. I changed it myself because the last time I took it to the dealership, that 1 bulb change was $32.00! BTW...it still has the original battery in it.
What could be causing these bulbs to go? and the one time flashing? If I remove the battery, and then change the bulb, is there anything I need to do after reconnecting the battery? I am not a mechanic...does it make any difference which post I remove first on the battery?

I have a 2010 Camry LE. I would like to make the headlights come on when I unlock the doors with the fob button. The interior lights come on now (briefly) but not the headlights. Is this customizable?

I've noticed my 2011 headlights have a haze on the inside of the lens. I've tried polishing the outside with many different products, and it does a good job of the outside, but you can tell there is still hazing. A pal of mine also purchased a 2011 and kept his halogen lights and his lights still look new. His vehicle isn't even garaged..

The light output from these headlights has always been less that other cars on the road. I polished the lenses with the latest stuff. They look nice and clear, but the lights are not brighter. I put in new bulbs. No difference. I have a solution. Since I seldom use the brights, I want to drive with the brights on all the time and aim the lights so they are not blinding to oncoming drivers or drivers that I am following. How do I accomplish this?

I don't like cloudy, hazy, dull, yellow headlights so since the car like a year old, is there anyway can I prevent those headlights getting cloudy-yellow? Products that I could use? Does cook top cleaner work?

I recently bought some lamin-x tint for my headlights and fogs. I have only seen a few ppl on here tint their lights, but it was only the the tailights i have seen done on here. So I have an optic blue for the headlights and med gunsmoke for the fogs. Just came in yesterday so I will try to get them on within a week. I will post some pics to show how it looks.
