96 Model Camry brake light globe blown

[prometheus]

My 96 Camry has blown a brake light globe.

I have bought a pair of new globes and would like to try changing the blown globe myself.

I tried going around from the inside (from inside the boot) , no dice.

So , any advice on how to go about it from the outside ?

cheers

You can't do it from outside, you _have_ to go in via the boot - either to change the globe with the light still attached to the car, or to unbolt the whole light assembly so you can do it outside the car.

Do you have the owners manual? It will tell you how to change the tail-light globes with pretty pictures and all (one of the few serviceable parts of the car that Toyota tell you how to do). It is also just about the EASIEST thing you can service in a car, apart from checking the oil

When you say "no dice", what is stopping you? The boot carpet? Iit is held in by Christmas tree clips usually, takes all of 5 seconds to pop off.

If I can do this - anyone can. Mind you, I have imported tail lights for my Gen 3.
