You have to get them from inside the trunk. Pull the emergency release handle (glow-in-dark green) straight off (carefully). Then you have to (carefully) pry out enough of the trunk interior trim panel 2-pc. clips to pull the trim panel back. Look for the bulb sockets, which should now be visible. Twist one quarter turn to remove the socket; then if I recall correctly, pull the bulb straight out.
 
Installation is the exact opposite.
 
Take to a mechanic (doesn't have to be the dealer) if you lack the confidence.

30k miles maintenance by graffixx

Greetings. We purchased a certified '07 Camry LE automatic. At the time, the dealer changed the engine oil/air filter, and replaced the spark plugs.
 
2,000 miles later, the maintenance required light is now on and we're at about 30k miles. Unfortunately, we do not have the service maintenance schedule.
 
What's needed for 30k miles maintenance? and how much does it cost?

The Edmunds web site has maintenance schedules for most vehicles.

Water Pump Change with Timing Chain by bergyone

I have a 2002 I-4 Camry with 126,000 miles. Since it has a timing chain I won't be changing the belt and water pump at the same time. What is the expected life span, min/max, for the water pump? I have had the coolant changed and use Mobil 1 oil.

I don't think there's a straightforward answer. It could last the life of the car. I check my fluid levels once a week (except transmission fluid, which I do less often), so I'd recommend the same for you just to be sure nothing is leaking.

04 Camry 4-cyl Spark plug replacement by dovan
Jun 20, 2008 (12:33 pm)

I just found and joined this forum. Here's my first question. I want to replace my plugs. The manual says I must replace with only "iridium-tipped" ones. Unfortunately I've already bought platinum tipped plugs. Is it all right to use them? The manual does not have the maintenance schedule. I can't find the supplement that has the schedule. When should I change plugs? I only have 45K miles on my Camry. Thanks. -Hieu

Maintenance schedules for vehicles of every year are on this website:

They're not that easy to find.

The original plugs are good for 120K miles; I'd suggest returning the plugs you bought for a refund.
