Depends on what kind of tail light. An older tail light should have 12 v, but more modern tail lights are from LEDs.
the wire may be broke some where or their is ground issue leading to the tail light
Should be the same fuse for parking light/tail lights Should be the same fuse for parking light/tail lights Should be the same fuse for parking light/tail lights Should be the same fuse for parking light/tail lights
If you are riding around with a broken tail light you can get a ticket. Since tail lights are inexpensive you should avoid this ticket by fixing your light.
lower tail gate and it should be two 8mm bolts then pull light out
Open trunk, there should be a few screws that hold tail light assembly to car. Remove screws and pull tail light assemble straight back.
open the trunk of your camry. take out the cover and you shall see 2 small screws and 1 big screws right behind the tail light. unscrew the two smaller knobs. then yank out the whole tail light. once it's out, you should be able to see the wires connecting to light bulbs (tail light, brake light, turn signal light). turn the knob anti clockwise and you should be able to take out the light bulb from tail light cover.
Open the trunk. Loosen the black thumb latch wing nuts that hold the tail light assembly in place. pull the tail light assembly out. You should be able to acces the tail light bulbs to replace them.
Replace the light bulb. Tail lights are usually dual filament, 2 filaments in one bulb.
Turn you high beams on and check your tail light. If its brighter, you have a head light bulb as a tail light bulb. 97-02 are the only ones that should do this. Find a tail light bulb and replace.(I couldn't believe it either).
I have an 02, but it should work the same way. Unscrew the tail light cover from the outside, then pull it off.
If there is a bulb, it should work.
Open the trunk and look behind the tail light. There should be a removable piece of carpet for access to the passenger side tail light. For the drivers side you may have a compartment with two plastic tabs to open it. Open it and there is access to the right side tail light.
