2012–2017 Toyota Camry headlight bulbs: common questions
What headlight bulb does a 2012–2017 Toyota Camry use?
- H11 (halogen; LED on some 2016–2017 XLE/XSE with optional full-LED headlights) for the low beam and 9005 (HB3) for the high beam. Trims with factory LED or HID projectors use a sealed assembly instead and are not bulb-serviceable.
What fog light bulb does a 2012–2017 Toyota Camry take?
- H16 (where equipped).
Can you put LED bulbs in a 2012–2017 Toyota Camry?
- Physically, yes, LED replacements exist in every common base. Whether they work well depends on the housing: a reflector housing designed around a halogen filament scatters LED output into oncoming traffic instead of down the road. Projector housings tolerate the swap far better. Some vehicles also flag the lower current draw as a bulb-out fault.
