    Great instructions, but I have to admit that I used an Allen wrench to pop the lens off and was done in under 2 minutes. No need to go through the backside.

    Allen wrench method is so much easier. The use of a 3/32 Allen wrench to remove lens covers makes replacement simple and less work.

    Thank you so much for this video. I had made several attempts to replace a Licence plate bulb on my 2010 Toyota Corolla. Just could not figure it out. Very fortunate to find your video at the right time. Your instructions were so helpful. Followed them step by step and managed to get the holder out and replace the bulb. Had to work very carefully but got there. Thank you very much, very grateful for your help.

    Had 1 of 2 license plate lights blow out on my 2012 Camry, ordered some LEDs, couldn't figure out how to install them. Watched a few vids on how to remove from the outside, but couldn't get mine to budge. Watched your video and 5 minutes later I had 2 brand new LEDs installed. Thanks 🤙🏻

    Thank you VERY much for this video! I would have most likely not been able to figure this out by my self so again ty. After doing this my self, I have to say that this is no "flaw" in design(my opinion) but rather made to keep average people from doing this for them self's which then forces them to take their car into the dealership to have a Toyota mechanic replace a fricken light bulb! I had to push, pull, torque, twist(which is risky because you can break the plastic) & curse at this thing to get it out because the hole that is there is to damn small. There are raised edges on the fixture that dont appear to have any purpose other then to make it very hard to pull this damn thing out. Before I put everything back together I'm gunna use a file on these raised edges and shorten them down a little so it will be much easier to do this job again in the future. I suppose next we will need a certified electrician to come out to our houses just to replace the light bulbs in our lighting fixtures......>. ...> OK, I'm done ranting.

    You said at the beginning do not use the Allen key. But in the end that is the recommendation. Well, I think if you have time, do it like this video. And also to get these parts out you have to be a skilled person. I explains my self better, Do not use extreme force and be a Hulk for these kinds of tasks just decent force and that's it. So the well-managed Allen key works and saves time. I did it in my 2014 Toyota Avalon. Thank you

    Appreciate your effort but your method is cutting the tree down in order to get an apple. The hex key (Allen wrench) method is exceptionally easy. You can almost effortlessly insert the tool (which in truth, doesn't even necessarily have to be an Allen wrench) and quite safely pop them off/out. I didn't know about them until I looked up the bulbs to see if they were typical, standard, traditional, garden variety, if-you've-seen-one-you've-them-all, tag light bulbs, (the same ones that have been utilized for 50+ years) and a KZread video demonstrating the exceptionally easy removal process came up in my search. You can remove both covers, replace both bulbs and do it all from outside. It literally took me about 45 seconds to replace both bulbs. 👍🏻

    KZread here! Nice video .. :-) Thanks! Suggestions: 1. put on hat before bumping head .. it's less painful that way! (Thanks for the humor on that!) 2. another video suggested getting a spare clip for the trunk liner. .. although, removing two clips is easiter .. so I would suggest getting two clips. These pretty much break all the time. (maybe I don't have the proper technique.) 3. as trh55 said: the bulb number is 168. ... 'nuff said. 4. mine is the 2014 Camry Hybrid XLE. (It has a liner on the trunk lid.) 5. If you have to do both sides .. do one at a time .. that way it's easier which way the assembly goes back in if it got all turned around.

    Nope, tried that and it's BS. You can't get the bulb out after taking off the lens cap. At least not without pliers. This worked better and he didn't show how easy it is to remove the liner by gently easing the liner clips out with a knife blade.

    Ironically, the general overall excellence of Toyota vehicles comes close to being PROOF that this was deliberately designed to be unnecessarily difficult. There is no way Toyota engineers were incompetent enough to screw it up this badly. I used a file to grind off the little metal tab that was added to stop you from pulling out the fixture.
