Introduction
If your stop and tail lights are not lighting up when you press your brakes on your 1997 Toyota Camry, the bulbs most likely have died and need to be replaced.
Working stop and tail lights are essential while driving as they signal to other drivers that you are slowing down or stopped. If your replace bulb indicator is on in your Toyota, this is a good indication that your bulbs need to be replaced.
Before removing the light bulbs in Step 2, ensure that no wires attached to the bulb assembly are damaged or frayed. This could indicate an electrical issue. This needs to be repaired prior to replacing the light bulb.
Make sure the ignition switch and light switch are off before beginning.
