I'd rather ask than break something so here goes. I need to replace the brake
light in a 94 Camry sedan. How do I get the tail light assembly out. i have
removed the two screws but feel like I'm going to break something. Any help
and all help is welcome.

Hi,
I have had a 2.2 litre Camry 1995 from new.
I have had to replace 3 rear bulbs in that time.
on the same side...strange.
Yes on mine its just the 2 self tap screws to take out.
But at the other side of the bezel there are like 2 prongs stick out.
These locate into 2 grommets fitted in the body.
You need to like see-saw the bezel unit a few tines.
Like out from the body they back into it.
The prongs do finally stop gripping the rubber grommets after I few see-saw.
If that makes sense.
Johnny UK.

Hi Kirby,
You are wise to inquire, because there is a portion of the 94 tail light
assembly that will break if levered at heavily.
Say we are speaking of the RH assembly... the two screws on the LH end of
that are out, and it is now loose at that end. The other end, around on the
side of the car, is retained by a cylindrical bayonet about 4mm dia which
pushes into a plastic bush in the body. You have to pop that loose. It is
nearly at the far end of the assembly towards the front end of the car.There
are no other fixings apart from the wiring loom.
To do so, run your fingers top and bottom of the assembly, from the rear
around to the side, and as far forward as you can, pulling the assembly
straight out to the side of the car, and a little to the rear.
It should pop loose. If you decide to lever it, use a well padded wide flat
lever, and the weak bit which can snap off is anywhere from the top front
corner to the bottom front corner of the plastic assembly.
Cheers
Geoff
