Replacing the lens on a 2011 Camry
To replace a faded lens in the Camry 40 you need to disassemble the headlamp. The optic can be opened by heating the joint of the body and lens with a construction hairdryer, be careful not to melt any element. The second way is to unscrew all the screws, remove dust caps and plugs, metal parts from the headlight and place it wrapped in a towel into an oven heated to 100 degrees.
Once the optic is warmed up, begin to carefully detach the housing from the lens using a flathead screwdriver. Take your time to open the headlamp gradually. Warm the optic again if necessary.
The sealant will be stretched by the fibres which must not come into contact with the inside of the optic. After opening the headlamp while it is hot, glue all threads of sealant onto the headlamp housing or lens.
The lens is attached to the body with three clips, unclip one of them and gently press out the lens. Purchase lenses with adapter frames, which will make the job much easier. Replace the lens with a new one, wipe with 70% alcohol solution. You may remove dust and debris from the inside of the headlamp with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Do not use acetone! It may damage the surface of the parts.
Do not change bottom edge (cut line) of shield slit, you will dazzle oncoming motorists.
With the lens in place, preheat the oven and place the headlamp, wrapped in a towel, for 10 minutes. Remove and press the glass to the frame, do not overdo it, it may break, it is better to repeat the procedure 3 times. Glass in place, screw in screws and place in oven for another 5 minutes.
