The 2011 Camry mostly uses H11 low-beam bulbs and 9005 high-beam bulbs in its halogen headlights, with H11 also commonly used for fog lights where equipped. If your car has factory HID headlights, xenon bulbs are used instead of halogen ones. Trim and options determine the exact setup.
Halogen headlight setup (typical trims)
If your Camry has standard halogen headlights, the following bulbs are used for the main forward lighting:
- Low beam: H11
- High beam: 9005
- Fog lights: H11 (if equipped)
This halogen configuration covers the majority of 2011 Camry models in base and mid trims, and replacements are widely available at automotive retailers.
Xenon HID headlight option
Some 2011 Camrys were equipped with factory HID headlights. These use xenon bulbs with a ballast rather than standard halogen bulbs. Replacement bulbs vary by ballast type, and the base often differs from halogen bulbs (commonly D2S or D3S variants). Verify the exact bulb type with your owner's manual or dealer.
- Bulbs: Xenon HID bulbs (D2S or D3S variants) with a ballast
- Note: The HID setup requires the correct ballast and ignition hardware; it is not a direct halogen bulb swap
To confirm the exact bulb configuration for your vehicle, check the owner’s manual, look for a label on the headlight assembly, or inspect the bulb/socket area when the headlight housing is accessed.
How to confirm your bulb type
If you’re unsure which configuration applies to your Camry, use these quick checks:
• Review the owner’s manual or the sticker inside the fuel door or under the hood for the recommended bulb type.
• Inspect the headlight assembly to see whether it uses a ballast-driven xenon system or a standard halogen bulb.
• If you have a magnifying lens or the bulb removed, note the base code (for halogen: H11, 9005; for HID: D2S/D3S) to match parts accurately.
Summary
For most 2011 Toyota Camrys with halogen headlights, use H11 for low beams, 9005 for high beams, and H11 for fog lights where equipped. If your Camry has factory HID headlights, the bulbs are xenon and require the appropriate ballast and bulb type (often D2S or D3S) rather than standard halogen bulbs. Always verify with the owner’s manual or a dealer for the exact specification on your vehicle.
