How to Change the License Plate Light Bulb on a Toyota Camry

How to Change the License Plate Light Bulb on a Toyota Camry

The license plate light bulbs on your Toyota Camry are usually the last light bulbs you think about. Hopefully, it wasn't a police officer pulling your over to inform you that one or both were out. Replacing them isn't too difficult, but it will require taking some stuff apart to get to them. If you want to save some money on labor charges, the replacement bulbs are relatively inexpensive, so you might as well learn how to pop them in yourself.

Difficulty:
Moderate

Instructions

things you'll need:

  • Phillips screwdriver Flathead screwdriver
    • 1

      Open the trunk to the Toyota Camry. Remove the interior trunk liner from the back of the vehicle. Use a Phillips screwdriver to twist the small center screw from the middle of the plastic fastener. The screw will come up about 1/4 of an inch and then you can pry the entire fastener/plug from the predrilled hole. Remove enough fasteners to allow you to get to the license plate light assembly.
