Toyota Camry Headlight Replacement: Left vs Right, Fitment and Part Numbers
Ordering the right Toyota Camry headlight: left (81150) vs right (81110), driver or passenger side in LHD and RHD markets, halogen vs LED, facelift changes.
In Toyota part numbers, 81110 is the right-hand headlight and 81150 the left-hand one, always seen from the driver's seat. Whether that is the driver or passenger side depends on whether the car is left- or right-hand drive. Within each group, the exact headlight depends on generation, facelift, halogen or LED, and the beam pattern for your side of the road.
Is 'left' the driver's side?
Only in left-hand-drive markets. Toyota (like most makers) defines left and right as seen from inside the car, facing forward. The table removes the guesswork.
| Market | Driver's side | Right headlight (81110) | Left headlight (81150) |
|---|---|---|---|
| LHD (e.g. Middle East, most of Africa, Americas) | Left | Passenger side | Driver's side |
| RHD (e.g. East Africa, South Asia, Australia, Japan) | Right | Driver's side | Passenger side |
Why can't an LHD headlight go on an RHD Camry?
Dipped beams are cut asymmetrically so they light the kerb side further and avoid dazzling oncoming traffic. An LHD headlight on an RHD car throws light into oncoming drivers' eyes and can fail inspection. Always order the version for the side of the road the car drives on.
Halogen or LED — which does my Camry have?
- XV80: full LED with the C-shaped daytime running light.
- XV70: halogen-projector on some standard trims, full LED on others; details changed with the facelift.
- XV50: halogen on most trims; North American and Asian designs use different housings.
- XV40: halogen; pre- and post-2009 cars use the same basic shape but trims vary by market.
The quickest check is a photo of the headlight switched on, plus the VIN. Converting a halogen car to LED headlights is sometimes possible, but connectors and wiring differ and some countries require approval — ask before ordering an upgrade.
Send three things for a headlight quote: the VIN, which side (left or right as seen from the driver's seat), and a photo of the label on the back of the old headlight if it is still readable.
Should headlights be replaced in pairs?
Not necessarily. After an accident, one side is enough. On older cars such as the XV40 and early XV50, yellowed lenses often make buyers replace both so the light output and look match. Fleet buyers sometimes stock both sides in equal numbers.
