Removal of 2011 tail lights!!!

[hugetitansfan]

Trying to remove the tail lights on a 2011 Camry Hybrid and I'm stuck. I've removed all the nuts and still the light won't pull off. Is there something else I need to do? please help

I believe you have to take the bumper cover off to get to a under the lens black plastic bracket.

Yep you have to remove the bumper. There is a clip on the taillight that you can't see until you remove the bumper.

just in case it was simply bulbs replacement job:

Lights other than the above If any of the lights listed below has burnt out, have it replaced by your Toyota dealer.
l Front turn signal/parking lights
l High mounted stoplight
l Side marker lights
l Tail lights
l Back-up lights

You just have to remove the felt trunk-lid liner to get at the back of the socket.

The felt is held in place by plastic clips. To disengage a clip, pull on the 'middle' round part, NOT on the outer ring. If you break one, replacement clips are available: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...layCatalogid=0

The bulbs are 18 watt. http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...layCatalogid=0 Last edited by SteveHansen; 05-21-2011 at 03:10 PM.
