Narrative:
ATC facility: yyz. Location: taxiway B at taxiway right. During taxi in, we struck an above ground taxiway light as we were turning onto taxiway right. Airport maintenance was called and stated that light was damaged. Continued to gate. Maintenance inspected aircraft and found no damage. Probable cause was dim centerline markings, and turning corner a little sharp.
