    My 2005 (according to the cop who stopped me) has the rear driver's side break light out. I think Google alleges it is an LED but i am not able to locate an obvious replacement on the usual sites. Any vendors stick out? Maybe a part #? Thanks!!

    81561-47071, MSRP $206.82, $139.26 from AutoNation Toyota Gulf Freeway in Houston:

    If the BRAKE light(s) are out, they are LEDs and it is necessary to replace the entire taillight housing.

    I suggest you back up into a space that has a glass window or other reflective surface to act as a mirror, so you can see via your rear mirror exactly what has failed before you buy a replacement.

    Or have someone press the brake petal while you look. That would work also.
