Replacing headlights, lanterns and lampshades for Toyota Camry

Hi all! I decided to replace the light bulbs in the interior, front doors, trunk and license plate lamps with LED ones.

A useful article about the types of light bulbs that are used in the Camry 40: toyotacamry.ru/blog.php?b=910&goto=prev I will briefly duplicate it in case it is deleted.

According to the manufacturer's recommendations, the following lamps are used on the Camry XV40:

1 – high beam lamp, type HB3; 2 – front parking lamp and license plate lamp, type W5W; 3 – low beam lamp, type H11 (halogen) or D4S (gas discharge); 4 – front and rear turn signal lamp, type WY21W*; 5 – fog lamp (FTL), type H11; 6 – rear brake light and side light lamp, type W21/5W; 7 – reverse lamp, type W16W; 8 – rear fog lamp, type W21W; 9** – side turn signal lamp (on the body), type WY5W*

*The letter "Y" in the name indicates that the color of the lamp is yellow, although in reality the color of the lamp is orange.

** Replacement of these lamps on the Camry XV40 is not provided; If the lamp burns out, you must replace the lamp assembly according to the instructions given in our reference book.

Lamps used in Camry XV40 interior lighting:

1 – lamp for general interior lighting (central lamp), type C5W (length - 31 mm); 2 – lamp for lighting the driver’s and front passenger’s seats (front lamp), type W5W; 3 – individual lighting lamp (behind the sun visor), type W5W; 4 – lamp for lighting the glove compartment (glove compartment), type T5; 5* – lighting lamp for the cigarette lighter contact cup (“cigarette lighter socket”), type T5; 6* – lamp illuminating the scale of the automatic control mode and the “travel” of the automatic transmission selector lever, type T5; 7 – left/right front door opening lamp, type W5W; 8 – luggage compartment lighting lamp, type W5W.

* A green rubber band-filter is stretched over the light bulb, simply called a “gadget” by car enthusiasts.

After researching the Internet, we purchased: 1) PHILIPS 127916000KX2 (6000k), W5W (T10) - 5 packs (2 pcs per pack). Purpose: — Front doors (2 pcs) — Interior lamp, front (2 pcs) — Visors, driver and passenger (2 pcs) — Trunk (1 pc) — Rear number (2 pcs)

2) PHILIPS 129416000KX1(6000K), C5W (length - 30 mm) - 1 package (1 piece per package). Purpose: — Interior lamp, rear. After installation, I noticed that the light from the diode was “more yellow” than the other diodes in the cabin, although all of them had a temperature of 6000K.

A little about the replacement process General: — Tools: flat thin screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver. — Keep in mind that the bulbs being replaced may be hot. — If you insert a light bulb and it does not light, swap the poles of the light bulb. — I did the replacement during the day, so in the photo there may be a feeling that the diodes give out little light.

1) Front doors There is no need to remove the door trim; the lamp can be easily snapped off if you pry it from below with a flat-head screwdriver. Result:

2) Visors, driver and passenger. It is better to remove both lamps by prying the latch on the left side of the lamp. “Holding” latch in the photo:

3) Interior lamp, front We pry up the plastic from the side of the windshield, they snap off quite easily.

4) Interior lamp, rear Upd:

: Without removing the lampshade, try to “unfasten” the glass. Please note in the photos below that there are 2 large latches along the diagonal of the lampshade, and you need to “defeat” them.

Having snapped off the lampshade, remove the reflector by prying it out with a screwdriver. After changing the light bulb, do not forget to insert

reflector in place.

5) Rear number Remove the trunk trim: snap off the pistons using a flat screwdriver and unscrew the handle.

As it turned out, one of my light bulbs burned out, because... moisture has entered the lampshade.

6) Trunk The light bulb is easily accessible from the trunk; it can be removed by snapping off the “protective” plastic.

To remove the courtesy light on a Toyota Camry we need the following tool:

• small slotted screwdriver;
• large slotted screwdriver.

Before removing the lampshade, it is advisable to disconnect the battery.

How to remove lampshades: front and rear passengers

1. Ceiling light for rear passengers

To remove the lampshade, you need to insert a small screwdriver between the lampshade body and the pressure glass of the lighting, then push it towards yourself and snap the glass out of the hooks, as shown in the photo. Be very careful! The plastic body of the lampshade is very soft and pliable; with excessive force, it turns white and wrinkles!

We perform the same operations with other glass.

The result of our operations is as follows

We did all this to open access to the ceiling and ceiling mounts. They are located around the perimeter of the lampshade, in the lighting niches, and are made of metal spring-loaded spacers. There are four of them in total, for better understanding, they are located in the photo below and circled in red. The photo shows the back side of the lampshade, namely the side fastenings, a similar situation with the fastenings on the other side.

After performing this technique with all four hooks, remove the ceiling lamp by disconnecting the electrical connector with a slotted screwdriver.

2. Ceiling light for front passengers

The front ceiling lamp is held in place by four dowels located in the corners. To clearly understand the mounting location, you need to look at the photo below, which shows the back side of the lampshade. Mounting points are circled in red.

Open the compartment for glasses (eyeglass case), grab the lid with both hands and forcefully pull (pull) down. During dismantling, some of the bulbs may remain on the body; they will need to be removed with a screwdriver and returned to the seats of the lamp.

Next, use a screwdriver to disconnect the electrical connector.

To remove the lampshade in a Camry you need to be extremely careful, the plastic is soft and parts can be repainted if handled carelessly.

Foot lighting

To install footwell lighting with your own hands, the car owner will have to purchase lampshades. The front nodes are made using tape. The rear lamps are attached with Velcro.

photo report on installing bright white LED backlighting on v50

On the occasion, I made a photo report on the installation of bright white LED lamp boards in the standard interior lamps of a Toyota Camry V50.

The kit consists of 8 boards designed to replace standard incandescent lamps in all interior lamps. There are just 8 of them in the V50 interior.

Bright white LED lighting kit.

Let's start with the lampshades located in the doors.

Using a thin, flat, metal tool, pry the lampshade by the edge (closest to the front of the car) and remove the lampshade from its seat.

Next, use the same tool to press the latch and disconnect the wiring connector from the lampshade.

The next step is to disconnect the plastic heat shield from the lamp housing.

Now you can remove (by squeezing out) the standard light bulb.

Let's start installing the LED boards. This is what the kit boards look like, designed for installation in door lamps:

Using a pushing motion, we drive the board into the lamp socket.

All. Now you can connect the connector and install the lamp in its place.

Since LEDs do not emit as much heat as standard incandescent lamps, the heat protection cap is no longer used.

Front ceiling lamp.

Using the same flat tool, we pry up the glass and remove it from the holders.

We remove the standard light bulb.

We take two boards intended for installation in this lampshade.

Attention! When installing these boards, make sure that the cut on the board is located on the side where the casing bulge is located in the lampshade.

Insert the boards by pressing them all the way. Turn it on and check it.

Mirror lighting in sun visors.

We press out the fastening clip and remove the lamp housing from the ceiling.

Disconnect the lamp holder from the lamp housing.

We take out the standard light bulb.

Insert the LED board.

This is what the boards look like, designed for installation in mirror illumination lamps.

And in the reverse order, we assemble the lampshade and install it in its place.

And finally, the rear ceiling lamps.

We pry up and remove the glass diffusers of the lampshade.

We remove the standard light bulbs.

And in their place we install LED lamp boards.

This is what LED board lamps look like, designed for installation in the rear ceiling lamp.

We check the functionality and install glass diffusers.

All. We admire the result of the work done. ))

Let me remind you that the cost of a set of bright white ceiling LED lighting for the Camry V50 is 3,000 rubles. The cost of installation at the club auto center is 500 rubles.

You can purchase this backlight (with the ability to send it to any region of the Russian Federation) in the club store. Read more. Well, installing it (as can be seen from the above report) is, in principle, not difficult to do on your own.

Conventionally, light bulbs can be divided into those that are located in the cabin and outside it. The first provide illumination for the driver and passengers. Some of the interior lamps serve to signal various driver actions. There are separate dashboard lamps that serve to inform the driver about the condition of the car. Light bulbs outside the cabin provide illumination of the road at night, and also inform other road users about the driver’s actions.

The purpose and type of lamps used, shown in the figure above, are shown in the table below.

Halogen, xenon (gas discharge) and LED bulbs

The 2007 Camry was equipped with halogen lamps from the factory. Advantages of this type of bulbs: accessibility compared to other automotive light sources. Halogen lamps do not require the installation of additional equipment (ignition units, headlight washers). Variety, this type of lighting has been used for decades, so there are a large number of reliable manufacturers producing high-quality products. The light is not of poor quality; in terms of luminous flux characteristics, halogens are inferior to xenon and diodes, but provide acceptable road illumination.

Recommendations

If the standard light does not sufficiently satisfy the car owner, then, if desired, you can install:

• xenon;
• bi-xenon;
• ice in the fog;
• LED lamps for low and high beam.

Xenon lamps are the brightest. They create a sporty image for the car. Their disadvantage is the need to install an expensive ignition unit. mtf products performed best.

This photo report is intended to show how to replace lamps on a 7th generation Toyota Camry V50 (2013). Namely, how to replace a low beam lamp, replace a high beam lamp, turn signal lamps and marker lamps.

Camry V50 lamp numbers:

• low beam lamp - H11;
• high beam lamp - HB3 (9005);
• turn signal lamp - 7440A (also 992 or 7444NA);
• lamp size - 2825 (also 168 or W5W).

Replacing lenses on Camry 2011

To replace a faded lens on a Camry 40, you need to disassemble the headlight. You can open the optics by heating the junction of the body and the lens in a circle with a hair dryer; be careful not to melt any element. The second method is to unscrew all the screws, remove the anthers and plugs, metal parts from the headlight, and place it wrapped in a towel in an oven preheated to 100 degrees.

After warming up the optics, begin to carefully remove the housing from the lens using a flat-head screwdriver. Take your time and gradually open the headlight. If necessary, warm up the optics again.

The sealant will form fibers that should not get into the inside of the optics. After opening the headlight, while it is hot, glue all the threads of sealant onto the headlight housing or lens.

The lens is attached to the body with three clamps, open one of them and carefully squeeze out the lens. Buy lenses with transition frames, which will greatly simplify your work. We replace the lens with a new one and wipe it with a 70% alcohol solution. You can remove dust and debris from the internal parts of the headlight with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Acetone should not be used! May damage surfaces of parts.

You cannot change the lower edge (cut line) of the shield slot; you will blind oncoming people.

The lens is in place, preheat the oven and place the headlight, wrapped in a towel, in there for 10 minutes. We remove and press the glass against the body, do not overdo it, the glass may crack, it is better to repeat the procedure 3 times. The glass is in place, screw in the screws and continue in the oven for 5 minutes.

How to change front lamps on a Toyota Camry

You don't need any tools to change the low and high beam bulbs. But to gain access to the front marker and turn signal lamps, you will need a small flat-head screwdriver.

It will be much easier to change the turn and clearance lamps from the wheel arch . To do this, you need to turn the steering wheel (and the wheel, respectively): to the left if the replacement occurs on the passenger side, and to the right if the lamps are changed on the driver’s side.

Then you need to remove at least two fastenings of the protection in the wheel arch, and unscrew the protection, gaining access to the lamps.

Replacing low beam lamp Camry V40

The low beam bulb is located in the center of the headlight assembly. Turn the base of the lamp a quarter turn counterclockwise and remove the lamp from the headlight. Then press the latch and disconnect the power connector.

Do not touch the glass of a new halogen lamp with your fingers, as the marks left behind will lead to rapid burnout. You can clean marks from the glass with a cloth moistened with alcohol.

The new lamp should be connected to the connector, inserted into the headlight and turned a quarter turn clockwise.

Button backlight

In order to install the backlight of the buttons on the steering wheel of a Toyota Camry 40, you must follow the instructions below.

• Disconnect battery.
• Wait 10 minutes and remove the airbag located in the steering wheel.
• Unscrew the two screws shown in the figure below. This will allow you to dismantle the button block.

Tuning backlight in Camry V40

This topic is intended to summarize the answers to frequently asked questions about tuning interior lighting. Despite the fact that this time we will talk about the Camry V40, general principles and techniques can be applied to other models.

The door handles were removed (I will post the sequence of removal operations later), holes were prepared in the upper part of the bowls, into which miniature LEDs were fixed with hot glue, connected in series through 1 kOhm resistors to limit the brightness:
