This video shows the steps to replace the front turn signal bulb for a 2007-2011 Toyota Camry. It's not as easy as it quite seems, it looks like you can get to it from under the hood, but that's actually an impossibility. You can, however, get to it through the wheel well, and there's no need to jack up the car or remove the tire. All it takes are a couple of simple hand tools you already have, and some patience.
other video tutorials say that "the front bumper needs to be removed". wtf, thanks for a non BS tutorial
No problem! All I produce is non-BS videos, have a look around, please consider subscribing. Thanks.
Thanks
Mr Jay. You saved me from going through the trouble of removing unnecessary parts (ie, wheel, front bumper) as what the other videos are showing. So, here’s a little token of appreciation Mr Jay. Have a blessed day! Be safe!
Thanks SO MUCH for that! That's really kind. I have other videos that can save people so much time, other videos that will save people so much money, and they do, and they can't even buy me a cup of coffee. Thanks, really, you are a great person and know how to treat others right!
Great video, I never would have guessed this would be so crazy to replace a bulb. Thanks again !
You're very welcome! Get used to it, this is going to be the norm these days.
Thank you for this extremely detailed and clear tutorial. Mine is also XLE 3.5L V6 with a 2GR-FE engine like yours but a 2008 model. It’s gonna be cloudy here all-day. Looks like a good day to dive in this repair project. I will be subscribing to your channel to see future projects on your ‘07 Camry. Thanks again.
You're welcome, and thanks for subscribing. Let me know how it turns out.
UPDATE: I followed your instructions to the letter and it was super easy! I was able wedge in my 100w lamp inside the crack and provided the much-needed illumination. You are right to turn 45 degrees to the left. The bulb was SYLVANIA 3457NA. I’m heading to AutoZone now.
I wonder what the 2 wire housing to the left of it is for.
UPDATE2: I found your other video that was practically a companion video to this one that addressed my above question. I changed that bulb too. It’s SYLVANIA 194A for Amber. Thank you so much for the savings. You have a blessed day sir!
@@mr3klax You are VERY welcome!
In the event you wanted to swap out for LEDs in the future, the turn signal flasher relay would need to be replaced. It's located behind the instrument cluster, and I have a video where I quickly run through how to access it. Very quick and easy. They make these cars zip together quick on the assembly line; of course when you ahve full acess to everything it makes the job that much easier.
Finally sumbody stright to the point
Thanks, that's the kind of videos I produce. Subscribe for more.
Excellent. Everyone is talking about taking the whole front out to change that globe. thanks very much. you made life easy for me.❤❤❤
There's the hard way and the easy way. Now you know who to come to.
I found this video extremely helpful
Thank you, great to hear!
Very friendly and detailed instructions...Good job!
Thank you.
Thank you for this guide. Your laundry must smell very fresh.
You're welcome. Yes, it does. Indeed it does.
That was helpful. Didn't think to just turn the wheel lol. I was almost about to jack up the entire car.
Having the car on a lift would be easiest, but turning the wheel does the trick.
Thanks man. I just changed my bulb your video was really helpful.
You're welcome.
Great video, helped fix my Camry 08 right blinker!
Thanks very much!
Great Video! I was able to understand everything in minutes and fixed mine just like that!
Great to hear!
Headlights starting to get a little yellow, good video
I don't really care. It's very rare I drive at night, much less even drive during the day. There are always aftermarket replacements, but it's not even worth it to me to do it since I'll really get no benefit out of it. If I were driving at night a lot more, that's a different story.
Thank you for the information I’m going to fix my bulbs on my 2006 Toyota Camry LEDs. I’m going to buy.
You're welcome.
2003 Camry reporting in. I just changed my front turn bulbs and I did NOT have to do this. Just regular old getting to the bulbs from the hood. Weird that they would make you do this in later versions of the Camry.
Correct. I own a 2003 also and the bulbs are right there. Due to the design of the new headlights on later models, you have to get it from the wheel well. This is actually becoming more and more common.

Well presented. Thank you
You're welcome.
Thank you your video really helps 👍
You're welcome.
Thanks for helping
You're welcome.
Thanks for this instructional! Did you get hyper flashing with LED turn bulbs?
You will, yes. You'll either need a load resistor, an LED bulb with built-in load resistor (which this one had), or you can change the turn signal flasher relay. I ended up changing the turn signal flasher relay anyway, and that one gave me the "flash to pass" feature so it flashes the signal 3 times automatically if you just flick the stalk. For reference, the turn signal flasher relay is behind the instrument cluster, which is very easy to remove. I have a video on that if you need.
@@jaykay18 Thank you so much for this info!
@@samgrieg2542 No problem. This is the turn signal flasher relay I bought: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008C9YS0Y
Great video very helpful

I'll be dipped!
Thanks Jay.
Can you mention type of bulb in description or link to find on Amazon
The type of bulb was mentioned in the very beginning of the video, it's a type 3157. You can search my channel for the exact bulb I used. Links to those products are always listed in the videos' description. I do not endorse any products, I just review them.
You may choose any 3157 bulb you like. If you change it out for LED, bear in mind you might encounter what's called a "hyper flash" situation, where the blinker goes really fast. I will have a video in a few weeks regarding a possible solution to correct that issue. Consider subscribing so you don't miss it.
Is this the same to get the headlight the 1 just below the blinker?
The he3adlight can be gotten to right under the hood. If you are talking about the fog light, near the bottom of the bumper, yes, this is the way to do it. You can also remove the panels under the front of the vehicle for access.
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome.
Una pregunta u el otro bombillo de enchufe negro de dos cables para que es? Recién estoy cambiando los leds pero me gustaría saber para que es o el color
Es una luz de posición lateral, se enciende cuando las luces de estacionamiento o los faros están encendidos. Tengo un vídeo específicamente para ello:
ruclips.net/video/nbK88zRIFTs/видео.html
Im confused how my light is burnt out, but the actual blinker reflector still lights up.
The bulbs have 2 filaments, a low intensity one that would be on when the parking lights and/or headlights are on--that's when it's lit up. When you turn the blinker on, it flashes the high intensity filament while leaving the other one on, so it goes dim, bright, dim, bright. Check the other side and you will see what I mean.
If that high intensity filament burns out, it will no longer flash. Conversely, the low intensity filament could go out, in which case it wouldn't light up with the parking lights and/or headlights, but will still signal when the blinker is on.
@@jaykay18 i kind of figured something like that. But thats good, so i still hv some kind of blinker.
@@lorisky143 Marker light, is what you have. It won't flash until you replace the bulb.
@@jaykay18 funny the video says about things happening, lol So I got the housing out, but the bulb dropped out inside 🙆♀️
@@lorisky143 Yeah that's one of those things! If the bulb is in the light housing you will have to remove it and try to get it out. If it fell in the inside of the car, you'll probably never hear it rattling around.
I have trouble to twist the bulb out… it doesn’t have enough space to twist it out..
There's enough space, but JUST enough space. It can be done, I did it. Your car is nearly as old as mine, when the bulbs have been in for a long time they get stuck and you have to turn really hard. When there's barely enough room, it makes it harder.
Yeah sadly, some times if they have been in there too long they break. Like my license plate socket atleast it was only $15 for a new socket.
What a terrible design. thanks for the help❤
It's not a terrible design, you wouldn't have all these weird shaped headlights that are sleek to the contour of the car, that turn yellow after a few years, this is what you get in exchange. I miss the days of round and rectangular sealed beam headlights, and there were no LEDs so nobody was blinding anyone else.
Toyota engineers I curse you. What a ridiculous design
Blame the auto industry. They're pretty much all crazy like that these days, if not even worse.
