I have a 96 Camry and I am having a hard time getting the corner headlight out to change the bulb. The manual basically say unscrew a screw and it pulls right out. I dont want to force it and break it. Am I missing a step in this process?

I think the manual is correct, if it is like the earlier generation 3's. I have a 94. You have to give it a tug straight forward. It probably would be better to do this in warmer weather; less chance of breaking anything. When I got mine out, I put some grease down in the hole (it will become obvious once the lens is removed) to facilitate getting it out again in the future.

You're welcome. Don't forget about putting a dab of grease in that hole. It will make it easier to remove the next time.
