here ya go:

about.com always amazes me. these are the instructions i followed to open the panel. on page 4 in the second picture, the part labelled "5" is the thing that was cracked on mine. so instead of actually removing the door handle, i just follewed her directions to the pt. where i could get at that piece, see with my hands how it fit together with the pull rod, and then pull the piece out and tie the rod to the handle with wire such that pulling on the handle made the rod come up reliably. hope i did a good enough job that i don't have to go back in is all i can say.
 
note: if you want to replace it with a toyota part instead of a homemade hack, get the part first so you don't have to open the panel more than once.
 
hope this helps

#150 of 166 camry 97 'door open' light on by mls89

I spilled gallon of water on the rear area of floor behind driver seat. Suddenly security system went on and horn blows when I drived. I read manual how to reset security system but no help. I sucked water and dried area but periodically horn on when car on parking and doors locked. The 'door open' light now constantly on. I know I spoiled my lovely camry. Any thoughts how to fix it?
Regards,
Mike

#152 of 166 Parking light bulb replacement by another_person

One of my parking lights just went out on my 93 camry, and the owners manual says I should replace with a 168 bulb. I'm just wondering if there is a difference between the 168 bulb and 194 bulb?

168 is a little higher amperage (.35 vs .27) and has a lower expected life than a 194.

So shouldn't be any problem switching to 194 right? I plan on trying some of the LED bulbs so that my parking lights will match my silverstars.

Right on! I will probably be going to LEDs on my '07 auxiliary lights.

you might want to check your bumpers, bought it during the week and was able to look at it very closely during week end and found out that my bumper is 8 mm off at the left headlight, my 07 Camry is magnetic gray and ash, bought it at Power Irvine and still am waiting for the General managers opinion, I was told at the service that its a manufacturers defect, be sure to check ASAP...
