I have a 1997 Camry XLE. I'm trying to replace the lightbulb(s) behind the heater A/C knob. I first need to pry off instrument panel trim. I pried off about 90% but can't get the left, bottom corner--the part around the cigarette lighter--off. Is there something special holding it on that I need to unscrew or take apart? Thanks for any suggestions.

I've added a photo with the pointer to the spot that I cannot unpry.

The second photo ("001.jpg") show how much I've been able to pry the top part.

Just want to report that I did it! The bulbs are EWG203, Toyota part no. 90069-98004. You'll need two of them. They are hard to find. 2 of the 3 Toyota dealers in the area were out. Luckily, one had 2 of them. You can also get them at Mouser.com.

Thanks, I had been wondering what type of bulbs they were. But how do you get at them? I got the trim off, but could not see how to remove the bulbs.

How did you find out what model/part number these are? I've got some that have been dead for a while now (2000 Camry) and it's driving me crazy!

Also just noticed this post elsewhere on the site:

He got the number from the bulb he took out.
Doing a search for the part number turned up some dealers.
