| Position | Bulb type |
| --- | --- |
| Low beam | H11 (halogen; LED on some 2016-2017 XLE/XSE with optional full-LED headlights) |
| High beam | 9005 (HB3) |
| Fog light | H16 (where equipped) |
| note | 2015 facelift kept halogen projector low beams on most trims |

Note: Bulb fitments can vary with option packages (halogen vs. LED lighting). Confirm the bulb you are removing matches before ordering.

## What changed during the 2012-2017 Toyota Camry

| Years | What changed |

## 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.
