Gen5 Celica Headliht Unit

[mr_shaper]

Has anybody here had any experience changing the headlight unit on a generation 5 Celica? I damaged my left one just before christmas. I picked up a replacement unit yesterday and I am going to attempt to replace it tomorrow.

Does anybody know about this or know of any good resource sites where I can find info about this?

Thanks.

It's quite a straightforward job. The only fiddly bit is getting the headlight trim out past the top of the bumper. You should be able to lock the headlights up by turning them on fully and then going back two clicks on the stalk. Presumably, it works the same on jap cars.

Pretty straigh forwards really just need a #2 phillips screwdriver "magnetised" if possible, pop up the headlamps and take out the 4 screws in the plastic surround, some will stay in a little plastic pigtail on the surround, just unscrew the chrome bezel taking care not to drop the darn screw down the hole and into you engine shield tray :( pull out the plug at the back and reverse to put together.

A handy tip is spray a little lube oil round the headlamp body edges and the chrome trim before putting back together it prevents rust in further years to come.
