How To Replace The Front Turn Signal Bulb On A 2007-2011 Toyota Camry

Originally recorded August 16, 2022. Some stock footage used.
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.

Great to hear!

Thanks man. I just changed my bulb your video was really helpful.

[@jaykay18]

You're welcome.

[@JspecV186]

That was helpful. Didn't think to just turn the wheel lol. I was almost about to jack up the entire car.

[@jaykay18]

Having the car on a lift would be easiest, but turning the wheel does the trick.

Thank you for the information I’m going to fix my bulbs on my 2006 Toyota Camry LEDs. I’m going to buy.

[@jaykay18]

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.

[@jaykay18]

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.

Headlights starting to get a little yellow, good video

[@jaykay18]

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.

[@nimo0712]

Thanks Jay. Can you mention type of bulb in description or link to find on Amazon

[@jaykay18]

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.

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

[@jaykay18]

Es una luz de posición lateral, se enciende cuando las luces de estacionamiento o los faros están encendidos. Tengo un vídeo específicamente para ello: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJOuaWuwh655itU

[@samgrieg2542]

Thanks for this instructional! Did you get hyper flashing with LED turn bulbs?

[@jaykay18]

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.

[@samgrieg2542]

@@jaykay18 Thank you so much for this info!

[@jaykay18]

@@samgrieg2542 No problem. This is the turn signal flasher relay I bought: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008C9YS0Y

I'll be dipped!

[@song1861]

I have trouble to twist the bulb out… it doesn’t have enough space to twist it out..

[@jaykay18]

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.

[@ryandennis429]

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.

[@johnschuten4968]

What a terrible design. thanks for the help❤

[@jaykay18]

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.

[@swwacoach]

Toyota engineers I curse you. What a ridiculous design

[@jaykay18]

Blame the auto industry. They're pretty much all crazy like that these days, if not even worse.
