For the 2011 Camry with standard halogen headlights, the low beams use H11 bulbs and the high beams use 9005 bulbs. If your car is equipped with factory HID headlights, it uses HID bulbs (D2S/D3S family) rather than H11/9005.
The exact bulb types can vary by trim level and market. Some models with projector headlights or optional lighting packages may differ, and European or other markets occasionally use different specifications. Always confirm by checking the owner's manual or inspecting the headlight assembly label on your vehicle.
Bulb types by headlight function
The following quick reference lists the common bulb types used in the 2011 Camry by function. Exact bulbs can vary by trim and region; when in doubt, verify with the manual or a parts diagram.
- Low beam: H11 bulb
- High beam: 9005 bulb
- Fog lights (if equipped): typically H11 bulb
- Optional HID headlights (if equipped): D2S or D3S HID bulbs (ballast-based system)
In summary, the standard configuration relies on H11 for low beams and 9005 for high beams, with HID variants using D2S/D3S bulbs rather than halogen types.
How to verify the exact bulb in your car
To ensure you buy the correct bulb, use these steps to confirm your specific vehicle configuration.
- Check the owner's manual for the headlight bulb specification listed for your trim and market.
- Inspect the label on the headlight housing or the removed bulb for part numbers.
- Compare the VIN and build sheet with Toyota’s parts catalog or contact a dealership for your exact configuration.
- If you have HID headlights, verify the ballast and bulb type (D2S/D3S) rather than halogen bulbs.
Confirming the exact bulb type before purchasing helps ensure compatibility and proper beam pattern.
Summary: The typical 2011 Toyota Camry uses H11 low beams and 9005 high beams, with HID variants using D2S/D3S bulbs. Always check your manual or label to confirm the precise bulb for your model and market.
