*the* Headlamp Replacment For Avensis Projector Headlights?

[uumode]

As we know the Avensis' projector style lamps are not bright,

short of installing a full blown xenon system, a half way house would be to change the bulbs to these Philips ones;

Would these cause any problems with melting bulb holders or warranty issues? I recall the later model Avensis had the bulb holder changed from plastic to metal to stop the metling/overheating issues - correct?

Nevermind the above... as I have been informed that the heat they displace is the same as the original ones....

However the question I have is how the :censor: do you change the bulbs in a 54 reg T4...I can get the left light cover off but the drivers side one is totally blocked by the frikkin washer bottle....

ANY ADVICE - other than take car to MR T - PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSE

Believe it or not Nightstalker, you can actually replace the driver's side bulb, but expect to lose skin from your hand, and lose the bulb inside the engine bay.....

Oh, and it's near impossible to get the rear cover back on once you have finished :censor: .

As I understand it, to replace a bulb requires the bumper to be removed (something which is best left to the Toyota garage.....

What should be a 30 second job, is near impossible.
