How to Change the Left Front Light Bulb on a 1995 Toyota Camry

Toyota's history dates back to 1924, when the company's founder, Sakichi Toyoda, invented the Toyoda Model G Automatic Loom. In 1933, Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Ltd. opened a new department focused on producing automobiles, which resulted in the establishment of the Toyota Motor Company in 1937. Several decades later, in 1983, Toyota released the mid-sized Camry as the replacement for its Corona model. The third generation Camry -- 1992 through 1996 -- brought about a larger and more aerodynamic version of Toyota's mid-level sedan. The 1995 Camry's front left side has a total of three light assemblies: headlight, corner marker and turn signal.
