The TYJ-01-0171 and the TYJ-01-1001 are both Toyota Camry head lamp assemblies from the same exporter, and on a catalogue page they look almost identical: same product type, same optic-grade PC and ABS polymer construction, same four-units-per-carton packing. The choice between them is not a quality choice - it is a fitment-coverage choice. The TYJ-01-0171 is designed for TOYOTA CAMRY 2015 USA. The TYJ-01-1001 is designed for TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 USA, including the SE and XSE variants. Whichever Camry your market actually repairs should decide which SKU earns the shelf space and the container slot.

This guide treats the decision the way a stock planner would: fitment scope first, materials and quality evidence second, carton and freight economics third. It also explains where the 2024 Camry head lamp belongs, because that model year is covered by a different SKU - TYJ-01-1080 - and folding it into a 0171/1001 purchase order without planning is a common cause of slow-moving stock.

Problem Definition: Two SKUs, One Shelf, One Wrong Guess

Catalogue search is where the confusion starts. Search an aftermarket catalogue for a Camry head lamp and both models surface under the same product name and the same material description, with the differences compressed into a single line of fitment text that is easy to skim past. Three failure modes follow.

• Model-year mismatch. A lamp engineered around the 2015 Camry does not exist to serve the 2018 Camry, and vice versa. Ordering the wrong year produces gap and alignment complaints at the body shop, returns, and re-shipping costs that erase the margin on an entire line.
• Trim-blind ordering. Trim level matters as much as model year. The TYJ-01-1001 is documented for TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 USA including SE and XSE, so a buyer serving XSE owners should confirm that the SKU being quoted is the one whose documented scope actually covers SE and XSE.
• Ignored carton economics. Both SKUs pack four units per carton, but not in the same box. The TYJ-01-0171 carton measures 76 x 48 x 58 cm (0.212 m3) and the TYJ-01-1001 carton measures 74 x 56 x 56 cm (0.232 m3). Across a full container programme, that gap changes freight cost per unit and how much warehouse space each SKU consumes.

The underlying buyer problem is therefore not which lamp is better. It is which lamp converts a specific Camry fleet into sold units at the lowest carrying cost per unit - and the answer changes with the market, not with the product.

Industry Background: Why Camry Lighting Coverage Still Sells

Demand for Toyota replacement parts is being pushed by fleet age rather than by new-car sales. The average age of vehicles on U.S. roads reached 12.6 years in 2026, according to Business Research Insights - a figure that directly drives collision repair and lighting replacement volume, because older vehicles keep returning to the workshop.

Toyota held an 11.4% share of the global automotive market in 2026 (Toyota Market Trends 2026), which is the structural reason Toyota-specific SKUs - Camry head lamp assemblies, bumpers, grilles and related body parts - remain a dependable wholesale category rather than a niche one.

On the demand side, the global automotive aftermarket was estimated at USD 860.08 billion in 2025, with a forecast of USD 1,482.12 billion by 2035 (Vertex AI Search / Market Analysis). Published estimates for the same market vary widely depending on scope and methodology - Grand View Research publishes a materially lower 2025 figure - so any single aftermarket number should be read as an order-of-magnitude indicator rather than a precise planning figure. The same caution applies to the collision repair segment that consumes most head lamps, valued at USD 208.0 billion in 2025 by Grand View Research.

On the supply side, China's exports of motor vehicle parts to the United States reached USD 11.54 billion in 2024 (UN Comtrade), which is why US-market fitment data - model year, trim and packing - sits at the centre of most Toyota aftermarket sourcing decisions rather than being an afterthought.

Quality expectations have tightened alongside that demand. IATF 16949:2016 is the global automotive quality management standard used by many OEM suppliers (International Automotive Task Force). Gold Auto Part's supply chain partners operate under ISO 9001 and IATF 16949, and every product batch undergoes dimensional inspection, material verification and performance testing before shipment.

Detailed Solution: What Each SKU Actually Covers

Both models are classified as Auto Lighting Systems head lamps and are documented for the automotive aftermarket, automobile repair and automobile body manufacturing industries. Both are built from optic-grade PC and ABS polymers, and both are listed under the supplier's Quality Inspection Program. The decision therefore rests on fitment scope and packing.

TYJ-01-0171 - Toyota Camry 2015 USA Head Lamp

• Vehicle scope: TOYOTA CAMRY 2015 USA
• Product type: Head Lamp, Auto Lighting Systems
• Material: Optic-grade PC & ABS Polymers
• Packing: 4 units per carton
• Carton dimensions: 76 x 48 x 58 cm
• Carton volume: 0.212 m3
• Applicable industries: Automotive Aftermarket, Automobile Repair, Automobile Body Manufacturing

The 0171 uses the narrower, taller carton of the pair. Because it packs four units into 0.212 m3, its calculated volume per unit is about 0.053 m3 - the more freight-efficient of the two Camry head lamp SKUs compared here.

TYJ-01-1001 - Toyota Camry 2018 USA / SE / XSE Head Lamp

• Vehicle scope: TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 USA / SE / XSE
• Product type: Head Lamp, Auto Lighting Systems
• Material: Optic-grade PC & ABS Polymers
• Packing: 4 units per carton
• Carton dimensions: 74 x 56 x 56 cm
• Carton volume: 0.232 m3
• Applicable industries: Automotive Aftermarket, Automobile Repair, Automobile Body Manufacturing

The 1001 keeps the same four-per-carton count but uses a squarer, slightly larger carton of 0.232 m3 - about 0.058 m3 per unit. The trade-off is straightforward: a modest increase in freight volume per unit buys coverage of a later model year plus the SE and XSE trims.

Volume-per-unit figures above are calculated from the carton dimensions and units-per-carton values; they are not separately published specifications.

Where the 2024 Camry Belongs

Buyers who also serve the current-generation Camry should note that neither of the two SKUs above covers it. The Camry 2024 USA head lamp is a separate model, TYJ-01-1080, packed 2 units per carton at 76 x 28 x 52.5 cm (0.112 m3 per carton, about 0.056 m3 per unit). The two-per-carton rhythm means the 2024 line is ordered and stacked in different multiples than the four-per-carton 0171 and 1001, so it should be planned as its own SKU rather than as an extension of the 2015/2018 decision.

Capability Behind Both SKUs

• OEM, ODM and customizable production services are available.
• Customization covers vehicle-model adaptation, appearance customization, packaging and label customization, and replacement part solution development.
• Monthly production capacity: 100,000 units.
• Standard delivery time: 30-60 days.
• MOQ: 50-100 units per model in the general capability data.
• Quality control: inspection and testing before shipment.
• Documented export market: USA, with a customer base that includes importers, wholesalers and distributors across the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, UAE, South America, Southeast Asia, Africa and Europe.
• Wider catalogue: car lamps, engine valves, oil filters, air filters and Toyota exterior parts, which lets a distributor consolidate categories with one exporter.
• After-sales: customer support for part selection, order assistance and after-sales service.

Step-by-Step: How to Choose Between the 0171 and the 1001

Step 1 - Map your Camry model-year mix. Pull the last twelve months of Camry head lamp enquiries, repair orders or warranty claims and split them by model year. The result is usually lopsided, and the dominant year decides the anchor SKU.

Step 2 - Assign one anchor SKU. If the 2015 Camry dominates, the TYJ-01-0171 is the anchor. If the 2018 Camry dominates, the TYJ-01-1001 is the anchor. Do not split the anchor position between the two.

Step 3 - Check trim coverage before quoting. The TYJ-01-1001 is documented for TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 USA including SE and XSE. If your customer base includes SE or XSE owners, the 1001 is the SKU whose documented scope addresses those trims.

Step 4 - Compare carton economics at equal order size. At four units per carton, 100 cartons of TYJ-01-0171 occupy 21.2 m3 while 100 cartons of TYJ-01-1001 occupy 23.2 m3. That 2 m3 difference per 400 units is the freight and warehouse price you pay for the later model-year coverage.

Step 5 - Confirm material and quality expectations. Both SKUs use optic-grade PC and ABS polymers and both sit under the supplier's Quality Inspection Program, with inspection and testing before shipment. For lighting orders, documented acceptance criteria include a visual check for lens clarity and a 100% functional power-on test covering photometric alignment and LED chip check.

Step 6 - Validate with a sample before the first container. Sample evaluation is the cheapest way to catch a model-year or trim mismatch. A physical check of lens clarity, housing fit and connector alignment on the actual vehicle is worth more than any catalogue heading.

Step 7 - Fix the commercial terms. Documented MOQ for lighting orders is 100 pieces per model, with the general capability data listing 50-100 units per model. Delivery terms are FOB Shanghai / Ningbo Port for ocean freight or EXW Factory. Payment is typically 30% TT deposit with 70% balance against a Bill of Lading copy or an LC at sight. Standard delivery time is 30-60 days against a monthly capacity of 100,000 units.

Use Cases: Which Buyer Should Stock Which SKU

• Regional distributor in a 2015-Camry-heavy market. Anchor on TYJ-01-0171. Its 0.212 m3 carton keeps landed cost per unit lower, and the model-year scope matches the fleet being repaired.
• Distributor serving the 2018 Camry, SE and XSE included. Anchor on TYJ-01-1001. The documented scope covers the 2018 USA range with SE and XSE variants, which reduces the risk of trim-level returns.
• Collision repair chain. Stock both in the ratio of the model-year mix mapped in Step 1, keeping a small buffer of the non-dominant SKU so single jobs are not split across two sources.
• Automobile body manufacturers and rebuilders. The 0171 suits rebuild programmes built around the earlier Camry generation; the 1001 suits projects where 2018 shells, including SE and XSE, are in scope.
• Mixed-market importer. Both SKUs share the same four-per-carton packing logic, which makes carton-level mixing inside one shipment practical instead of forcing a full container per SKU.
• Buyers who also serve the 2024 Camry. Add TYJ-01-1080 as a separate line at 2 units per carton, 76 x 28 x 52.5 cm (0.112 m3).

The reference case behind this supplier's lighting programme shows what stable fitment delivers over time. A UAE-based auto parts wholesaler and distributor running container-load orders of 500+ sets of head lamps - model TYJ-01-0001A, documented for Toyota Corolla 2014 Middle East - recorded a 100% successful fitment rate, zero customer complaints and sustained repeat orders across a 3-5 year relationship. The case highlight cites a high-precision optic lens, seamless OE alignment and plug-and-play wiring. A parallel case with the same distributor profile for the TYJ-01-0008 fog lamp (Corolla 2014 Middle East) reports the same result. Model-year discipline, not lamp count, is what these numbers describe.

FAQ: TYJ-01-0171 and TYJ-01-1001 Sourcing Questions

Conclusion: Coverage Wins, Precision Pays

The TYJ-01-0171 and the TYJ-01-1001 are not competing products; they are two coverage decisions. The 0171 answers the 2015 Camry repair market with a tighter 0.212 m3 carton and the lower volume per unit. The 1001 answers the 2018 Camry market, including SE and XSE trims, at 0.232 m3 per four-unit carton. Both use the same optic-grade PC and ABS polymers, both ship four per carton, and both sit under the same inspection and testing regime before shipment.

Decide with the data in this order: map the model-year mix, assign one anchor SKU, confirm trim coverage, price the carton difference, validate with a sample, then fix the commercial terms. Buyers who also serve the 2024 Camry should plan TYJ-01-1080 as its own line rather than as an add-on to either SKU above.
