The Toyota Camry dome light is located in the center of the headliner inside the cabin of the car and you will first need to use a small flat head screwdriver to pry the lens cover from the cabin dome light housing. There are two notches located at the front side of the lens cover that you can use the screwdriver to pry open the dome light cover.

Using your finger press the left side metal retention clip outward to allow the light bulb to be removed. At this point you can either replace the old bulb with an OEM replacement DE3175 or use an aftermarket LED light to replace the burnt out dome light.
New Working Dome Light	Replace Dome Light Cover	Test Dome Light Bulb
Before replacing the lens cover make sure to test the new dome light bulb to make sure it is working properly. If the dome light is not working check the filament (the metal wire in the center of the bulb) of the new bulb to make sure it is not broken. If everything is working align the lens cover with the dome light housing and press it back into place.
