me. 

Dealerships have notoriously high overheads. Fancy showrooms,shuttle
services, highly skilled and highly paid technicians.

Believe it or not they make little profit from the sale of a new auto.
Their profit centers therefore lie in the service department and used car
sales.

I do my best to steer clear of the service department unless I am procuring
a competively priced product.

Specialty shops usually are far more competive, but for a minor fix like a
tail light replacement which is a no brainer, I would never let the
dealership get their mittens on it.

I figure you got off cheap at $16 bucks.

In my mind dealerships are for warranty work only unless you have money to
burn.

A garage or ... any repair facility has by definition "OVERHEAD"
costs. But you want freebies. Do it yourself and pay yourself
accordingly!

Any idea how to remove a burnt out rear side marker light on a '99 Camry
XLE? I've removed the plastic cover inside the trunk, and I can see the
side marker lamp housing, but there's virtually no room to do anything.
Does it pull out, turn left, or right? Any/all help appreciated.

Thanks

Go to your local library and look through the repair books. That's how I
figured out how to replace the front parking light.
