Unfortunately, you usually can't replace this light yourself. The entire shift indicator assembly is typically a single unit and needs to be replaced if the light fails. This is often more cost-effective than trying to disassemble and repair the tiny component.
Here's what you should do:
1. Confirm the issue: Make absolutely sure it's the bulb and not a loose connection or a blown fuse (check your owner's manual for fuse box location and diagram).
2. Get a replacement: Go to a Toyota dealership or a reputable auto parts store. Provide them with your Camry's year, make, and model. They can find the correct replacement shift indicator assembly. The part number might be called something like a "shift indicator panel" or "gear selector indicator."
3. Installation (Generally Requires Some Mechanical Skill): Replacing the shift indicator assembly is not typically a simple plug-and-play operation. It involves removing the center console trim around the gear shift to access it. This often requires carefully prying panels apart without damaging them. You might need small screwdrivers, trim removal tools, and potentially even some mechanical know-how or patience. If you're uncomfortable doing this, take it to a mechanic.
In summary: While you *can't* replace the light itself, you *can* replace the entire assembly. However, this is typically a job best left to someone with some experience in car interiors or a qualified mechanic. The cost of replacement is likely much lower than the potential cost of damaging interior components during the process.
