Toyota Repair: 97 Toyota Carolla-replacing all 3 brake lights, toyota carolla, lens assembly


Question
How do I replace the three brake lights in my 97 Toyata Carolla?

Answer
The service manual is of no help, the center brake light bulb can be replaced by removing the cover on the inside, look for a pastic retainer on each side of the cover, push the center of the button in and then pull the button out, the cover will come off and you can replace the bulb, there are several possible ways to access the rear bulbs, see if the carpet cover can be pulled off and the bulbs can be removed without removing the entire lens assembly, if they can't be accessed this way look for nuts or bolts that hold the lens assembly on and remove them and then the lens will pull away from the body, sorry, can't be more specific, haven't had to replace bulbs on a '93 corolla in a long time.
