Driver's Side Headlight

Nov 20, 2003 4 Replies

I need to replace the driver's side headlight in my 1990 camry. The passenger side is no problem to replace. The problem on the driver's side is that the back of the bulb is up against the coolant reservoir. Is there a trick for getting the reservoir out of the way or maybe I'm not removing the bulb correctly. Any advice is appreciated.

The coolant reservoir in my '91 has just enough play that I can gently push it back far enough to get the base of the bulb out of the housing. After that, I simply take the bulb out at an angle.

I'm having the same problem changing the right directional bulb & haven a clue about how to get to it without removing the whole front grill. There has got to be a way. Has anyone advice>

Thanks for the tip Joshua, but I've played around with this a couple of times. My collant res is right against the bulb and behind the res is my battery. There just isn't the space to work it out. Anyone else with an idea?

Cancel the request, I finally figured out how to remove the parking lamp lens. The tab holding the whole assembly in doesn't look like a expanding rivet & had me fooled for a while.
