FIXONICBefore you begin
Use this guide to replace the trunk-mounted taillight of a 2007–2011 Toyota Camry. This is intended to specifically address the taillight assembly that is actually on the trunk lid, and not the outer taillight on the body of the vehicle. Some of the bulbs inside the taillight light up every time either the headlights or brake lights are in use, and these can be especially important features for visibility in safely driving at night or through bad weather. If your tail light is dim, flickering, or completely out, go to the appropriate section of your Camry's Troubleshooting page to confirm whether the problem lies with a burnt-out bulb, a damaged socket, or a failed trunk-side tail light assembly. Replace it by having the vehicle parked safely and the ignition off. It is also advisable to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery in order to avoid accidental short circuits when dealing with electrical connectors. Be extremely cautious with the burnt-out or broken bulbs because the glass could be fragile. This will show you how to remove a faulty trunk-side taillight assembly and replace it with a new one so the proper lighting can be restored, making your vehicle safe and road legal once again.
