Toyota Camry Brake Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The 7443 is the most widely used brake bulb type across the Toyota Camry specifications. It is a dual-filament T20 wedge bulb rated at 12V with a 21W high filament and 5W low filament, conforming to the ANSI standard for the US and Canada markets.
• The 1157 is a dual-filament bulb sharing the same 12V, 21W/5W electrical rating as the 7443, but it uses a BAY15d bayonet base rather than a wedge-style fitting. These two bulb types are not interchangeable despite their identical wattage ratings, as the base designs are physically incompatible.
• The 3057 and 3157 are both T25 wedge bulbs rated at 12V, 27W/7W under the ANSI standard. Their higher wattage output distinguishes them from the 7443 and 1157 types used in other model years. The 3057 and 3157 share the same T25 form factor and wattage, though they carry distinct ANSI designations.
• For the Toyota Camry Outer Brake position, the 2004 model year used two different bulb sizes depending on production date. Vehicles produced up to June 2004 required a 3157, while those produced from June 2004 onward required a 7443. These two bulbs are not interchangeable due to differing base configurations and wattage ratings.
• The 2025-2026 Toyota Camry brake bulb fitment is trim-dependent. The LE, SE, and Nightshade editions with halogen lighting use the 7443, while the XLE and XSE trims are equipped with factory LED systems and do not use a replaceable halogen bulb in that position.
• The Center High Mount Stop Light position uses the 921, a single-filament T15 wedge bulb rated at 12V and 16W, across a long span of model years. The 1156, used in earlier years for the same position, is also a single-filament bulb but uses a BA15s bayonet base rather than a wedge fitting, making the two types non-interchangeable.
• The 194 bulb, a miniature T10 wedge type rated at 12V and 3.78W, appears in the Center High Mount Stop Light position for the 2023-2024 model years. Its wattage is substantially lower than all other bulb types listed in these specifications, reflecting its use in a lower-intensity indicator role.
• All bulb types listed across these specifications conform to ANSI standards applicable to the US and Canadian markets. Bayonet-base bulbs such as the 1157 and 1156 require a socket designed for that base style, while wedge-type bulbs such as the 7443, 3057, 3157, 194, and 921 use friction-fit wedge sockets, which are not compatible with bayonet-base housings.
