My 2003 Camry LE had an oil change within 2 months ago. I was driving on business today when the the oil light sputtered on and off on the highway. After flickering for several moments the light stayed on constantly. I checked the dipstick and it appears the oil is full. Help!? I stopped at the wrong location. When I turned the car on again no light appeared. But sure enough a minute of driving and there it was again. (I'm about 100 miles from home) The car has approximatly 96,000 miles on it.

How to replace a fog light bulb on a 2004 Toyota Camry

Video Description
The video above shows how to change the fog light bulb in your 2004 Toyota Camry. Not all models have fog lights - for many Toyotas, it depends on your trim level (XLE) or whether the fog light option was ordered when your Camry was manufactured. Fog lights are typically in the front bumper, below the headlight cluster and are helpful in poor visibility. If one fog light is burnt out on your Camry, we recommend changing both bulbs because the working bulb will be dimmer than the one you replaced and will likely burn out soon anyway.

When you change the foglight on your Camry, be careful not touch the glass part of the bulb with your fingers which causes the bulb to burn out earlier.

The procedure for resetting the oil change light is in your owners manual. If you don't have the manual try this. Turn key on (do not start engine) and push the gas pedal to the floorboard 3 times within 5 seconds. Turn key off and restart the truck. Light should be reset now.
