Does a Toyota Camry’s brake light bulb swap out easily?
Because they don’t interfere with your vision, it’s understandable why so many burned-out taillights go unseen and unaltered. However, having a burned-out taillight makes it harder for people to see you! This can be quite problematic while driving at night because it might be difficult for people to see you when they are driving behind you when you brake or are on a road with few lights!
Fortunately, if you do find your taillight is broken, you can fix it quickly and easily. Because Toyota cars are designed to be simple for any driver to operate, changing a taillight in a Toyota Camry can be done in just 5 simple steps:
Usually, if both of your tail lights go out at once, you need to change your fuse. To identify the fuse, see your owner’s manual. If the metal component within the taillight fuse is whole, the fuse is still good; however, if the metal appears to be broken, the fuse has blown and has to be replaced.
Any auto shop and several department stores in Brampton, Ontario, will have standard tail lights for your automobile, including taillights for a Toyota Camry. To determine the size or type of light to purchase, a guide is typically provided.
In most cases, a screwdriver will be sufficient to accomplish this, but if there aren’t any screws, you might need to open the trunk to gain access to the lights. It’s time to change the bulb once you remove the covers or can see the lights.
Replace the fuse if that was the problem, then try turning on your lights again.
Like other light bulbs, the bulbs are replaceable by unscrewing them. Be careful when screwing in the replacement bulb because they are still fragile.
It’s time to put everything back together the same way you pulled it apart after changing the bulb so you can check your work!
