[Information] For a 2002 Toyota Camry, the Daytime
Running Lights (DRL) operate utilizing the High Beams (inner Lamps closer to
the center of the vehicle front) at a reduced power.
[The troubleshooting process:] Review the Owner's Manual and ensure the test
configuration matches the following criteria:
1. According to the 2002 Toyota Camry Owner's Manual (Check your Owners Manual):
"The DRL system will make your headlights come on at a reduced brightness
when:
The light switch s in the "DRL" position.
The ignition is on with the engine running.
The headlight switch is off.
The parking brake is released."
2. Set the Test Conditions according to Step 1 above.
3. Check the headlight bulbs to ensure they are not
burned out. If one burns out, there is a fair chance that the other would have burned
out at the same time. Replace as necessary.
In this case, if the high beams operate, the DRLs should also operate.
4. Test the system, ensuring the step 1 conditions are set. (Engine running, Multi-function
Switch on Turn Signals in "DRL" position, headlight switch off
(repeating what the manual says -- it should be obvious that in the
"DRL" position, the headlight switch should be off / do not have the
switch positioned to "High Beam"), and the Parking Brake
"off").
5. If DRL lights do not work, check the engine compartment Fuse and Relay Box.
there is a 5 Amp DRL fuse -- replace it with the spare. Test (step 4).
6. If it does not work, swap around or replace relays -- there are three (3).
Any one of them could be bad (stuck or burned out). Test (step 4).
7. Other less likely possible issues
could be that the Multi-function Switch is broken or a connection / wire is
broken. [Beyond the scope of this
process.]
My problem was that the test configuration did not have
the engine running and parking brake off - Step 1. Problem solved with much
thought, repetitive tests on the vehicle and going back to the basics -- what
does the Owner's Manual say and where are the applicable fuses and relays
located?

The replacement part has the bulb as part of a "casing" unit. So, we need to remove the casing unit rather than just the bulb, but can't get it disconnected though we're pressing on the release.
Open the hood. Look at the back side of the beadlamp assembly.
Determine which bulb is inoperative. (if the bulb needing replaced is in front of the battery, it will be easier if you remove the lock bar and slide the battery out of the way, you do not have to disconnect the battery) The bulbs rotate 1/4 turn to release them from the headlamp housing. When the bulb is turned 1/4 turn, pull it straight out, towards the engine. Press on the lock tab on the wire connector, and pull the bulb off of the connector. Fit the new bulb into the housing, turn it 1/4 turn the other way, and then locate the wire connector to the bulb, and press it onto the back of the bulb. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do NOT touch the glass part of the bulb with your fingers. This could lead to premature bulb failure.
Try this, and let me know how it turns out.
Why do none of my electronics work on 97 Toyota Camry besides the headlights
