This
automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners
of the XV50 7th generation (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016)
Toyota Camry in changing a burnt out bulb in the "courtesy" or
"step" lights at the bottom of the passenger doors. Owners of other Toyota, Scion or Lexus vehicles such as the Yaris, Corolla, Matrix, RAV4, Prius, Tacoma, Tundra, Sienna, FJ Cruiser, Venza, Highlander, Avalon, 4Runner, Land Runner, Sequoia, IS 250, ES 350, GS 350, tC, xB, xD, iQ and FR-S may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement bulb is part # 168 from manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, PIAA and Eiko. You may also use any other miniature wedge base bulbs such as the W5W or 2825. You could also install a brighter compatible 168 LED bulb. The only tool needed to replace the bulb is a small flat head screwdriver. |

An optional step is
to cover the tip of the screwdriver with a thin micro fiber cloth to prevent
from scratching the plastic surfaces. Insert the blade of the small flathead screwdriver in between the rear edge of the light housing and the door panel. Gently pry out the light housing and press the release tab on the power connector before sliding it straight off. |
