I have a 2016 Toyota Camry SE (2.5L 4-cylinder), and last night, one of my low beams went out.

Called the dealer this morning to see how much it would cost to replace both just to be safe, and after a couple of minutes on hold, the guy comes back with $445 to change both bulbs. He tells me they have to remove the bumper to access the bulbs??

I asked how much the bulbs cost—$35 each. So they’re charging almost $375 just for labor?! That’s absolutely insane. No way it actually costs that much to change a damn Low Beam Bulb, right? People really paying $445? I’m obviously changing them myself but is this real?

Edit: Looks simple from this video.
