What low beam lamps are on Camry 55?

Problems with the quality of light on the Toyota Camry B55 [2014-2017] AFS usually begin after 5 years of operation, and after 10 years the headlights stop shining altogether.

The reasons can be different : cloudy headlight glasses, dead lamps (in the case of xenon), dirt and dust in the headlight itself, but the most common reason is burnt out lenses. The reflector in the lens itself, which focuses the light beam, burns out. As a result, the brightness gradually drops to almost 0.

We offer the most effective and cost-effective way to restore light on a Toyota Camry V55 [2014-2017] AFS - replacing standard lenses with modern Aozoom T7 Trust Fire LED modules.

Cashback 20% of the cost of the repair kit to the card within 72 hours, for all members of the Drive2.RU community, after publishing a review!

Let's look at why T7 is one of the best tickets today:

1. Lowest price among TOP segment models. Of course, there are Chinese bi-reflectors that are 15-20% cheaper, but in terms of performance they do not even reach the A3 max level, and they are 30-40% short of the T7 level.

2. In this model, the light is extremely well balanced: The upper reflector provides good wide illumination with the correct distribution of brightness, so that the near zone next to the car is not overexposed and the far zones are better perceived by the eye. The lower reflector gives a very bright and wide hot spot, but at the same time the spot is not stretched vertically and does not produce near-exposure. The brightness of the hot spot is very high, even higher than that of most track models, and the horizontal illumination angle of the hot spot in T7 LED bi-ices is 2-3 times wider than in track models and is about 10 degrees.

3. Aozoom Factory. The factory has very high-quality optical developments, they do not copy, they develop, so all lenses and reflectors are of the highest quality. For example, if you compare the brightness of the beam, for example, from the Hella 3R lens and the Aozooom BI-LED, then only on the lens there will be a difference of about 10%, and the width will not change, but the brightness of the Aozoom lenses is higher. The same thing with the reflector, the efficiency of Aozoom reflectors is much higher than that of other manufacturers.

4. Fits into any headlight. Biled Aozoom T7 has a very compact size, it fits into almost any headlight, no matter with AFS or without adaptive.

5. Reliability. In this model, the driver and LEDs are located on different boards and the driver components do not operate at maximum temperature conditions. The chip boards are made of copper, and for the highest quality heat dissipation, thermal paste with a thermal conductivity of 12.5 W/mK is used. The cooler is Chinese, but extremely reliable; its cost is comparable to many well-known brands.

How is the procedure for replacing lenses on a Toyota Camry B55 [2014-2017] AFS carried out?

Important! The description is typical and does not apply to a specific car model. If you carry out the replacement procedure yourself, consult a specialist.

1. The first stage is removing the headlights and the car.

2. Opening headlights (removing glass)

There are two possible options:

a) if the headlights are dismountable, with hot-melt sealant, such headlights can be disassembled by heating them to 100-120 degrees. You can even heat the box with a household hair dryer, but it is better to use a special oven or box and a hair dryer (be careful with a hair dryer, it can easily melt the body or glass of the headlight). b) if the headlights are conditionally non-removable, in this case it is better to contact a specialist or arm yourself with a liquid for disassembling the headlights and a special U-shaped knife (https://www.criline.ru/instrumentyi-dlya-retrofita/). In this case, the headlight will also have to be heated several times for the liquid to work. Not all sealants are liquid soluble.

3. Third stage: dismantling the old lens

4. Stage four: installation of a new lens and transition frames

Adapter frames for Toyota Camry V55 [2014-2017] AFS have mounting holes for Hella 3R/5R lenses, they are compatible with Aozoom T7 Bi-LED lens. The procedure for installing lenses in transition frames and frames to standard holes is individual and may vary depending on the make and model of the car. When installing lenses, you should take into account the distance to the standard mask. If necessary, use longer bolts and make spacers in the form of nuts between the frame and the lens. The sequence of installation of new lenses depends on the specific car. IMPORTANT! The presence of frames does not guarantee that the new lenses will fit properly without modifications; modifications to the frames, the lens itself, or the headlight housing may be required.

5. Horizon adjustment

A very important stage that I would like to highlight separately; with the headlight closed, the horizon cannot be adjusted, so you need to check it before you assemble the headlight.

6. After installing new lenses, the headlight is assembled

If the standard sealant is dirty, unevenly distributed, the headlight is sweating, or a non-separable sealant was used, you need to replace the sealant with a new one, we recommend using a solid hot-melt sealant.

7. Last stage: wiring and adjustment

We recommend watching our review of LED models on our YouTube channel:

This kit for replacing standard Toyota Camry B55 [2014-2017] AFS lenses uses one of the most successful models of bi-reflector modules from the Aozoom company - T7 Trust Fire serial number ALPD-07. Despite the relatively low cost for bi-reflective Bi-LED modules, this model performs better than most TOP modules like Orion A6+ or Balck Warrior, A4, A6, A7, A9 and even better than many TOP lasers. New at the end of 2020, LED bi-reflective lenses from the Aozoom factory - Aozoom T7 Trust Fire. Bi-reflex technology - two chips, two reflectors, the upper one forms the main flow, the lower one forms the hot spot zone.

Why might the low beams not turn on?

If your headlights are not on and your low beam lighting is not working, then driving at night with a faulty car is not only prohibited by traffic rules, but also extremely dangerous

Why the low beam on a Toyota Camry does not turn on - there may be several main reasons:

Burnt out light bulb
Lost ground from headlight
Fuse and relay failure
Short circuit or break in the wires going to the headlights
Interior switch malfunction

If problems arise with the vehicle's lighting equipment, the cause of the problem should be identified as quickly as possible and eliminated.

Toyota Camry headlight - the light does not light

The search should begin with the simplest and at the same time the most common causes. So, if one headlight of your Toyota Camry does not light up, then most likely the reason is that the bulb of this headlight has burned out.

The simultaneous burnout of two light bulbs in both headlights also happens, but is extremely rare. As a rule, this occurs during sudden changes in voltage in the network and is accompanied by serious damage to other electronic equipment. Checking the serviceability of the light bulbs is very simple - you just need to replace them with new ones.

How to replace a low beam lamp yourself

Instructions for replacing halogen H11 low beam

The replacement itself will take you no more than 5 minutes. There is absolutely nothing complicated.

We tear off the hood, in the lens there is an H11 Osram lamp on the back of which there is a marking on a blue background. We will change this lamp.

Press the latch on the wire block and carefully remove it from the lamp.

Turn the lamp 90 degrees counterclockwise and take it out.

We take the new lamp, insert it in the same position in which we pulled out the old lamp, turn it 90 degrees and put on the socket. This completes the replacement.

At a car service center they would charge you 300-400 rubles or more for such a service. It turns out that in 10-15 minutes of work we saved this money.

Replacing the standard xenon lamp D4S

Turn the low beam lamp cover half a turn and pull it out.

We also turn it half a turn and remove the metal block on the lamp.

Carefully unclench the lamp mount and pull out the lamp itself.

Why are no other methods other than replacing lenses effective?

Replacing headlights with new original ones is the most expensive way, the price of new original headlights exceeds the cost of replacing lenses + the price of the modules themselves by at least 2 times, and the light you get will definitely be worse than with TOP BI-LED lenses.
Replacing headlights with rear-facing ones is just a lottery; the likelihood that the rear-facing headlights will have live lenses is minimal, so you may just be wasting your money.
Replacing headlights with duplicates may give a temporary effect, for 1-2 years, then a replacement procedure will also be required, because Duplicates use the cheapest lenses, which fade very quickly.
Replacing lamps with more powerful LED or new xenon ones does not give any significant increases, because an increase in light even by 2 times with a loss of 90-95% will not give any effect.

Camry 40: light adjustment

Camry 40 is a common car, the reliability and practicality of which are legendary. But no car is perfect, so even the 6th generation Camry has its flaws. In addition to poor noise insulation by the standards of the class, there is another disadvantage that many owners encounter - the poor light of the XV40. If the issue of sound insulation concerns exclusively the comfort of use, then the quality of lighting depends on the safety of traffic in the dark.

How to independently adjust the headlights on a Camry 40

If you are faced with the problem of bad light, do not rush to buy new optics. In the case of the Camry 40, insufficient road lighting may be due to unadjusted light elements. Incorrectly adjusted optics can lead to undesirable effects: dazzling oncoming and passing traffic, in fog a wide light beam creates a curtain in front of the driver, too low a light beam poorly illuminates the road even in good weather.

Preparation

The Camry XV40 is equipped with an electric headlight leveler, but it is often not possible to adjust the light using it. The low beam is considered problematic for the Camry 40; car owners do not often complain about the high beam.

The first step is to check the settings of the standard corrector and the adequacy of its operation. If you find that this unit is out of order, replace it and then proceed to adjust the Camry 40 light.

To independently adjust the headlights on Camry 40 you will need:

horizontally flat area at least 10 meters long (garage, parking lot, etc.),
on one side the site must be adjacent to a perpendicular, flat plane (parking wall, garage door, etc.),
hexagon with which adjustment will be made,
the same tire pressure, it should be 2 - 2.2 bar,
fill a full tank of gasoline,
set the headlight range control to position 0.

How to set up Camry XV40 headlights

To configure the light elements of the Camry 40, you need to mark the screen or wall. To do this, drive the car five meters away from the surface on which the marking will be made. The first vertical straight line completely coincides with the longitudinal axis of the car (O in the diagram). Then the distance between the centers of the headlights is measured and marked on the marked surface with vertical lines (A and B of the right and left headlights, respectively).

Next, a horizontal line is drawn, which is drawn parallel to the floor plane at a height equal to the distance from the center of the headlights to the surface on which the car stands (the height is indicated by the letter h, and the line is located above the straight line E). The second horizontal line is drawn 5 cm below the first (line E in the diagram).

After applying these lines to a flat and smooth surface, you can begin adjusting the headlights of the Camry 40. Turn on the low beam and start adjusting one of the headlights, covering the second with some thick material (a thick rag will do, of which there are quite a few in the garage). The light from each optical element should be located along a horizontal straight line, which is closer to the floor surface (line E in the diagram) and end near the vertical line marked opposite the opposite headlight (line A for the left, straight line B for the right).

If you find that the optics of your car do not shine correctly, then adjustment is made using special bolts. Different bolts are responsible for adjustment in the horizontal and vertical planes.

Adjusting bolts Camry 40

The adjusting bolts are located on the rear walls of the Camry 40 headlight housing. When adjusting the low beam yourself, be careful, rotate the screws slowly so as not to damage the plastic part.

The raising of the near beam of light occurs only after vertical adjustment. If you need to raise the low beam line, turn the adjusting screw until you reach the required level.

The low beam of the Camry 40 can be considered adjusted when the upper lines of the light spots coincide with the horizontal straight line E (the straight line marked 5 cm below the height of the center of the optics).

If the car is equipped with an automatic corrector, then adjustment is possible by connecting special equipment. Otherwise, the autocorrector will return the original settings.

Setting up fog lights Camry 2007

When adjusting the optics of the Toyota Camry XV40, the light of the fog lights is adjusted. One of the reasons for incorrect PTF light is incorrect installation of the lamp. Before making adjustments, check that the lamp is installed correctly.

To adjust the light of the fog lights:

install the vehicle at a distance of 7 m from a flat vertical surface,
mark the centers of the PTF on the marked plane, move 10 cm down from these points and draw a horizontal line,
move the car away from the marked surface another 7 m and turn on the fog lights,
If the PTF light is set correctly, its upper border will run along a horizontal line.

The PTF light is adjustable only in height. If there is a need to raise or lower it, there is a hole in the plastic protection under each “fog light” through which the adjusting screw can be seen; rotate it with a screwdriver to adjust the light.

Checking self-tuning of Camry 45 optics

When carrying out self-adjustment of light, a check is necessary. After waiting until it gets dark, drive out onto the road and evaluate the performance of the optics. If the system only needed adjustment, you will immediately see the difference. Make sure that low beams or fog lights do not blind other road users.

If you cannot adjust the light of the optics, contact a specialized service.
