I too have a 99 XLE Camry and have a similar complaint on lighting.
I have found from time to time removing and cleaning both sides of the
shroud plus the headlight itself has helped a bit.

I often see vehicles approaching me with super brights and not high beams on
but I find them very annoying for oncoming traffic.

I thought it was my eyes going but I have no trouble driving other vehicles
with the low beams on and seeing well.

Check the headlight aim also.

Even after paying the Dealer to adjust, I found the only way I got
satisfactory aim, was to adjust them myself.
Also make sure the outside of the lens is clean -- Plexus plastic
cleaner, or ordinary car wax -- many contain mild cleaning agents.

Thanks for the info Dan, I'll get some cleaner and try adjusting the
beam too.

Thanks,

I'm going to trying cleaning the lens and bulb, then adjust the beam, if
that still doesn't make much of a diff I'll try some Silverstars. Maybe
my bulbs are just old and worn out?
