- I got tired of my 2011 Toyota Corolla looking like crap so I got online and bought a brand-new pair of headlight housing units to install. I also show you how to remove the bumper and headlight housings.
Stay tuned and don’t forget to comment, like and subscribe. I am going to be throwing together mini-series of all the vehicles I work on and all other vehicles we work on including my any of my friends.

Hey man, I really appreciate the video. One hour twenty minutes, two beers I was finished, you saved me some beer.
haha glad I could help!
Man, thank you. Best video ever. Replaced damaged bumper Saturday and this was a huge part of my repair. Easy removal thanks to very straight forward and detailed instructions. I used it constantly for reference. Much better than the manufacturer diagrams
I appreciate it! Glad I could help you out!
@@bossadamsgarage bro, you saved me a ton of $$$$! Body shop was trying to charge an arm and a leg for labor for just the bumper replacement charging highest retail OEM prices for aftermarket bumper and headlight on the right passenger side. I followed your video, i still reference it for the clips and bolts to make sure they were in the right place (of course I screwed it up lol, watched the video again and used it to find my way back). I replaced the bumper cover with a factory bumper and got a headlight for almost half what they were charging, and best part is…didnt take long! I cant believe how shops try and stretch their margins. Its legal robbery. Thanks again man, love to learn new things, and better yet, love to stick it to overpriced mechanics charging 8 hours of labor for something that took me 30-40 min. Could not be more grateful for guys like you putting out videos like this for us 🙏🏽
Thanks again! I try and help where I can.
Among every video I saw, yours was the better explained. Keep a good job and thank you for making my job easy. God bless you 🙏
I appreciate that! Glad I could help!
Great video, just finished replacing them on my daughters car, this video was accurate and saved me some money.
I appreciate you checking out the channel and glad I could help!
Thank You! This is how all instructional videos should be.
Great vid. Thank you. My wife hit a deer and busted the passenger light housing. I planned on only replacing the busted one and do the driver side later (it looks like yours did) but seeing as I have to drop the bumper, I decided to replace both housings. I'm glad I watched your video first !
Glad I could help and thanks for stopping by!
Thank you sir for this video. My first time replacing a busted headlights. Followed your steps and worked on it. The bolt you mentioned to be careful removing or else it will get stripped did got stripped, but I manage to remove it and got the part for it ordered. Thank you again.
Glad I could help!
Thank you brotha for this process. I'm about to put new ones in mines. 😊
Glad I could help!
If screws won't break loose sometimes you can tap the screwdriver with a hammer to help break them loose. Thanks for the video.
I appreciate the tip!
Thank you Sir for the deatils they make all the difference.
Glad I could help! And thanks for checking out the channel!
Thank you for posting this!!! Replacing mine now. Thanks so much!!
No problem! Glad I could help!
Thank you for posting this. I need to do this job just as you show. Thanks for the guidance.
No problem! Glad you found it helpful!
I'm looking at doing this on a 2010 right now. If you don't mind me asking, how have the new lights held up to hazing again?
Nice! I installed these in December of 2020 and with it now being basically March of 2022 I still have no hazing and they still look really good. If you haven't already switched the bulbs, I would 100% switch them to LEDs. You'll need an anti-flicker harness for the high beams but other than that they make the car look and function better. Thanks for checking out the channel!
Great Job! You saved me a lot of money. Thanks!
Nice work off and back on. Thx ❤
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Just curious how these lights have held up. Are they starting to haze or turn yellow at all? Thanks for the video.
Nope. Still very clear with no issues. Thanks for checking out the video!
What year is that car, I missed that part. Thankyou
Mine is a 2011. But its the same from 2011-2013.
Hi I heard you say your replacing the bumper. Where did you get it from? I am in need of a new one. Thanks!
So I have looked at a few options. #1 is that I just buy an already primed bumper online. #2 is that I go somewhere like pull-a-part and I find a decent bumper in good shape. The issue I've ran into with both options is the getting it painted portion. Every shop around me wants $600-$800 to paint the bumper and I am not going to pay for that. If I had the supplies Id do it myself but I don't. So, long story short, the new bumper has been put on hold for the time being.
God bless you brotha
Nice video. Did you change the bumper?
I appreciate it! No, not yet. I've had it quoted but it was a little too pricey for my taste. So, for now, we're keeping the speed hole bumper lol
Great video !! My car is a 2011 LE model, made in Japan. Do you believe it fit?
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't see why it would not.
Hey, I was wondering if you think it's possible to replace the front upper grill on a 2011 Toyota Corolla without removing the front bumper. If so, which screws and pins do I need to remove? I heard it's possible by removing the four Philips screws and a couple of pins and then gently pry it open. Is that an option?
It could be possible, I personally have never tried it due to it being very easy to bust those pins. I would say just to be careful, I would remove the bumper just so you can get the proper angle on the pins and tabs
What year was that car? Thankyou
Both of my Philips head screws are stripped, I gave up 😭😭, how can I get them off?
If you have a small extractor tool, that could work. If its too far gone, you'll have to drill it out.
Corolla are the best
Thank you so much! I just finished installing my lights using your video. So easy to follow and saved me money 💰
No problem! Glad I could help you out!
Are those stock headlight assemblies
They are OEM Replacements that are pretty much identical.
Anyone know if this procedure is similar to an ‘09 Corolla S?
Yes. This removal and replacement works for models 2009-2013.
Would this fit type s model 2011
Yes. That is the exact model I own.
where did you get those new ones?
i see, theres a link on description. thanks and stay safe.
chrisfix has a video on restoring headlights. 2000 grit sandpaper (wet sanded) and clear spraypaint will do the trick. But if you have $300 lying around then buy new. Takes an hour either way
Yes you can use that method, however, the issue will come back. New headlight housings for this model car will typically run you $120-$150 at most.
@@bossadamsgarage It isn't permanent by any means but only needing to do it once a year with the same sheet of sandpaper seems to be the most efficient way of saving money while keeping headlights clear
@@bossadamsgarage Also didn't realize Corolla headlights were about half that of a Lincolns. So that's my bad.
why people forget to review the night performance of headlight which is the most important part.
