Ther are two possible causes. Either the lens seam is separated or the gasket on the bulb housing is torn/missing. Replace the gasket. Clean the lens seam, a tooth brush works well for this, and seal with silicone.

How do you replace the stop light on a 1994 Toyota Camry?

I'm assuming you're asking about the sedan, not the station wagon (estate?). Open the boot (trunk) and remove the two screws holding the tail light assembly in place using a Phillips head screw driver. Then it gets tricky. Pull the tail light assembly from the screw holes slightly to the rear so the assembly is clear of the mounting point you just unscrewed from. Then, move the assembly sideways away from the car - i.e. to the left if you're removing the LH assembly, or to the right if you're removing the RH assembly. You must do this while holding the assembly clear of the mounting points that you removed the screws from. The assembly is removed sideways, not toward the read as you might expect. With the assembly free of the vehicle, you can remove the bulb assembly by twisting it and then pulling it out. Replace the globe and reverse the process to reassemble.


How do you change the headlights on a 97 grand am?

I have a SE and right above the light assembly is a plastic cover. Remove those or move them out of the way to get to the bolts holding the assembly on. I believe that there are 3 bolts maybe 4. Getting the light assembly out might take some finesse. Lifting up slightly or tilting forward and down to release a plastic tab. Hope this helps.
