Toyota: 1998 Parking Light Repair, toyota camry, light socket


Question
How do I install my new parking light for the drivers side front?1998 Toyota camry

Answer
Danny, the parking light install should be simple.  Pop the hood and towards the drivers side you should see the screw that's holding the corner light on the car.  Unscrew it.  Now, the light should be loose but you'll need to pull towards you to get it out.  You have to pull it forward, not to the side or you'll be pulling for a while and could hurt yourself.  Be weary though because once you pull the corner light, you see the wire coming from it which is the corner light socket that's just twisted into the corner light.  Just turn that socket clockwise to loosen it from the corner light.  

To install the new light, just reverse the procedure begining with twisting the light socket counter-clockwise to tighten it (make sure to align the tabs properly so it fits flush).  Then, just push it into position and screw the tab down using the screw you pulled out at the begining.  

If you need pictures of the whole procedure, I'll be glad to help.

Hope this helps!
