If the bracket is there, the bulb and housing are probably universal and available at an auto parts store. I got the sockets and bulbs for mine at Autozone. I don't remember what I paid, but less than $5 probably. I then wired them to the dome light so they automatically came on when the door opened and then faded out when the door closed. If you're not handy, you might get it done at a radio installer at a more reasonable price. Hundreds of dollars is an extreme ripoff.
Thanks!

I have briefly checked a couple of other Camry models and talked to the salesman and have been told there are no models that have footlights. It should be fairly easy to install a couple lights, the tricky part will be trying to hook them into the existing entry light system. Definitely a warm weather project which I think I will pursue as I miss that warm glow when you get into the car at night.
