How to verify the bulb in your Camry
If you want to confirm the exact bulb type yourself, follow these steps:
- Turn off the engine and lights, and open the hood.
- Access the headlight assembly and locate the bulb socket.
- Twist the socket counterclockwise to release it, then pull the bulb straight out.
- Check the bulb’s base number (e.g., 9006, 9005, H11) printed on the base or on the bulb packaging you remove.
- Consult the owner's manual or a trusted parts diagram (or bring the old bulb to a parts counter) to confirm the correct size for your trim.
When replacing bulbs, handle them with clean gloves or a cloth to avoid transferring oils to the glass, which can shorten bulb life. Reinstall securely and test before driving.
