Toyota Camry Headlight Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The 9005 bulb is the most frequently specified high beam type across the Toyota Camry's headlight history, appearing in model years 1992-1996, 2000-2006, and 2012-2018. It is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V and 65W, fitted with a P20d base, and classified under the ANSI standard used in the US and Canada.
• The 9004 bulb served as both the high beam and low beam source in a single unit for the 1985-1991 Camry, as it carries dual filaments rated at 65W and 45W respectively on a P29t base. This dual-filament design means one bulb handles both lighting functions within the same housing.
• The 9003 bulb also carries dual filaments, rated at 60W for high beam and 55W for low beam, on a P43t base. The 1997-1998 Camry used the 9003 for both high and low beam positions, and the 1999 model year initially shared this arrangement before transitioning to a 9006 low beam from August 1999 onward.
• For the 1983-1984 Camry, the headlight specifications call for sealed beam units rather than replaceable bulbs. The high beam position used the H4651 and the low beam positions used the H4652 and H4656, all of which are 4x6-inch rectangular sealed beam units where the entire assembly is replaced as a single component.
• The D4S is a mercury-free HID (xenon) discharge bulb rated at 42V and 35W, fitted with a P32d-5 base and designed specifically for projector-type housings. The Toyota Camry (2012-2014) lists this bulb as the low beam option for trims equipped with HID headlamps, making it non-interchangeable with the H11 halogen low beam used on the same model years in halogen-equipped configurations.
• The H11 low beam bulb follows the ECE standard rather than the ANSI standard that governs most other bulbs in these specifications. It operates at 12V and 55W on a PGJ19-2 base and is also approved for use in the United States. It appears as the low beam bulb for the 2012-2018 Camry in halogen capsule headlamp configurations.
• The 9005 and 9006 are not interchangeable despite their similar single-filament halogen construction. The 9005 uses a P20d base and draws 65W, while the 9006 uses a P22d base and draws 55W. The Camry specifications reflect this distinction by assigning the 9005 exclusively to the high beam and the 9006 exclusively to the low beam across the 1992-2006 period where the two types coexist.
• For the 2015-2018 Camry, the halogen capsule headlamp condition qualifier applies to both the high beam (9005) and low beam (H11) positions, indicating that these bulb sizes are specific to vehicles not equipped with alternative lighting systems such as HID or LED projector units.
