Sorry to be a bother but i know people out there know and i need to get this done in a hurry before summer vacation. =

there are 4 bolts. you need to take off the fender to get it off. and take off the kick panels and unplug the 2 plugs that goes through the kick panel part to the door then pull that out the side of the car and ubolt the door. theres also a 3rd little thing that you gotta unbolt from the inside. you unbolt that first with the door open. sorry to say that first.

Oh i meant just teh inside panel on the front doors not the actual door itself, sorry about that.

OK. First you need to remove the door bezel (plastic around handle). Pull the door handle open and put a screw driver in to depress the lower lip of it. This is the most tricky part. Slide it towards your left and it should come out. After that there are two screws with plastic covers on them that need to be removed. These are closest to the front of the car on the door. There are 3 screws on the door that need to come off also. These should be easy to find. Some have covers over them that need to come off first. After that there are two pastic clips on the left side of the panel. These can be removed by pushing the center in with a screw driver then prying them off. After that just pry it off. These instructions are for the drivers side door on a 1996 Toyota Camry. It might be different on a different year Camry.

as far as your third brake light; the plastic cover on the light is just snap-on. take your time and just pull it out away from the light. i've taken the cover off about 20 times and i haven't broken it yet. once you get the cover off, there are two screws, one on each side of the light. remove those and your light is loose.

You need this. Don't cheap out on something that will pay for itself over and over again, both in terms of your time, and in broken parts that you would have not broken with the guidance of the manual.
