Top Toyota Camry Replacement Headlamps: 2015–2018 and 2024 Picks

TYJ-01-1001 — Toyota Camry 2018 USA / SE / XSE headlamp assembly (Gold Auto Part catalog).

Camry headlamp replacement in the USA market is a fitment decision before it is a purchasing decision. A 2015 Camry, a 2018 Camry SE or XSE, and a 2024 Camry do not share the same front-end mounting geometry, so no single aftermarket headlamp part number can serve all three model years. This ranked list covers three USA-market Camry headlamp assemblies from the Gold Auto Part catalog — TYJ-01-0171, TYJ-01-1001 and TYJ-01-1080 — together with the wider USA-spec Toyota headlamp range that repair shops and distributors stock alongside them.

Ruian Golden Import and Export Co., Ltd. is an automotive parts exporter based in Ruian, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, trading under the brand Gold Auto Part. The company exports Toyota aftermarket parts — including bumpers, grilles, body parts and headlamp assemblies, as well as RAV4 headlamp assemblies — and also supplies engine valves, oil filters, air filters and pumps for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

The ranking below uses three criteria a buyer can check directly against a spec sheet: stated vehicle and trim coverage, carton efficiency measured in units per carton and cubic meters (CBM) per carton, and the durability features the supplier states for the lens and housing.

What Camry Headlamp Replacement Actually Requires

A replacement headlamp is a complete front lighting assembly — lens, housing, reflector and mounting structure — engineered to occupy the same position as the factory unit. For the Toyota Camry, the practical difficulty is that the nameplate spans several front-end designs. The three products in this guide are separated by their stated scope rather than by a generic "fits Camry" label: TOYOTA CAMRY 2015 USA, TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 USA/SE/XSE, and CAMRY 2024 USA.

Three failure modes drive most Camry headlamp replacements: lens hazing and UV degradation, impact damage from parking and low-speed collisions, and moisture ingress through a failed seal. Once a lamp is out of service, the buyer's checklist tends to narrow to three questions — does the assembly align with the factory mounting points without modification, does the lens stay clear over time, and does the housing survive the road and climate conditions the vehicle actually sees.

Trim level is the second problem. TYJ-01-1001 is stated for Camry 2018 USA/SE/XSE, so a shop quoting a 2018 SE or XSE can reference a part number that names those trims explicitly. Where a listing does not state trim coverage, the burden of testing fit falls back on the buyer — and a lamp that bolts in but leaves panel gaps or a distorted beam pattern becomes a return, not a repair.

The third problem is logistics. Headlamp cartons are bulky, and carton volume drives freight cost as much as unit price does. Two of the Camry lamps here ship 4 units per carton; the 2024 lamp ships 2 units per carton. That difference changes how a distributor builds a mixed container, how much warehouse space a stocking program consumes, and how much capital is tied up in a first order.

Industry Background: Why USA Camry Headlamp Demand Holds Its Shape

Several market signals explain why a 2015–2018 Camry headlamp program and a 2024 Camry headlamp program can both be commercially active at the same time.

• Vehicles stay in service longer. The average age of vehicles on U.S. roads reached 12.6 years in 2026 (Business Research Insights), which keeps older Camry front ends in the collision and repair cycle instead of the scrapyard.
• Replacement demand is structural. The global automotive aftermarket was estimated at USD 860.08 billion in 2025 and is predicted to reach USD 1,482.12 billion by 2035 (Vertex AI Search / Market Analysis). Published estimates differ widely — Grand View Research places the 2025 aftermarket at USD 489.5 billion — because sources define scope differently, so these figures are best treated as directional rather than precise.
• Front-end repair pulls lighting demand. The global automotive collision repair market, which drives demand for bumpers, grilles and lighting assemblies, was valued at USD 208.0 billion in 2025 (Grand View Research).
• Cross-border supply is the norm. China's exports of motor vehicle parts to the United States reached USD 11.54 billion in 2024 (UN Comtrade).
• Camry sits inside a high-volume brand footprint. Toyota held an 11.4% share of the total global automotive market in 2026 (Toyota Market Trends 2026), while Asia Pacific accounted for a 29.4% revenue share of the automotive aftermarket in 2025 (Grand View Research).

A technology shift runs alongside these numbers. Automotive lighting supply is moving toward LED technology for energy efficiency, according to industry commentary on headlamp upgrade demand. That shift influences how buyers specify new lamps, but it does not remove the need for direct-fit replacement assemblies on vehicles already on the road today.

The USA-market requirement profile buyers should know

The product data behind this catalog describes USA-market headlamp supply against a specific working profile: all-weather driving under strict DOT/SAE compliance standards, with DOT/SAE certified clear lenses, UV-resistant coating and OEM-level fit, matched to the headlight wiring harness, bulbs or LED ballasts and mounting brackets. That is a requirement profile, not a substitute for documentation — a buyer should always request the certification paperwork that applies to the exact part number and model year being purchased.

The Three Camry Headlamp Picks in Detail

1. TYJ-01-1001 — Toyota Camry 2018 (USA / SE / XSE)

• Model: TYJ-01-1001 — Head Lamp, Auto Lighting Systems
• Stated fitment (scope): TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 USA / SE / XSE
• Material: Optic-grade PC & ABS polymers
• Packaging: 4 units per carton; carton 74 × 56 × 56 cm; 0.232 CBM

Stated features: a premium-grade UV-resistant PC lens paired with a shockproof ABS body structure; engineered specifically for Camry SE/XSE trims for a flawless custom fit; superior beam projection and long-lasting optical performance.

Why it ranks first. Coverage breadth decides the top position. This is the only lamp in the Camry set whose stated scope names three designations — USA, SE and XSE — which means one part number can be quoted across base, SE and XSE front-end work on the 2018 Camry rather than splitting into separate SKUs. For a distributor, fewer SKUs per model year means less dead stock and simpler catalog management. The 4-unit carton at 0.232 CBM also keeps carton count low for volume buyers, and the stated UV-resistant lens addresses the hazing failure mode that triggers many replacements in the first place.

2. TYJ-01-0171 — Toyota Camry 2015 (USA)

TYJ-01-0171 — Toyota Camry 2015 USA headlamp assembly (Gold Auto Part catalog).

• Model: TYJ-01-0171 — Head Lamp, Auto Lighting Systems
• Stated fitment (scope): TOYOTA CAMRY 2015 USA
• Material: Optic-grade PC & ABS polymers
• Packaging: 4 units per carton; carton 76 × 48 × 58 cm; 0.212 CBM

Stated features: a robust PC/ABS housing designed for maximum heat dissipation and impact resistance; precise molded alignment for direct fit replacement without modifications; a high-clarity lens for bright, focused lighting performance.

Why it ranks second. This lamp matches the 2018 unit on packing quantity but ships in a smaller carton — 0.212 CBM against 0.232 CBM for the same four lamps, roughly 9% less carton volume per shipment. For a shop or distributor running a concentrated 2015 Camry program, that difference compounds across every container and every pallet position. It ranks behind the 2018 lamp only on the first criterion: the stated scope covers a single designation (2015 USA) rather than three trim designations, so it serves a narrower slice of the Camry parc.

3. TYJ-01-1080 — Camry 2024 (USA)

TYJ-01-1080 — Camry 2024 USA headlamp assembly (Gold Auto Part catalog).

• Model: TYJ-01-1080 — Head Lamp, Auto Lighting Systems
• Stated fitment (scope): CAMRY 2024 USA
• Material: Optic-grade PC & ABS polymers
• Packaging: 2 units per carton; carton 76 × 28 × 52.5 cm; 0.112 CBM

Stated features: a modernized, high-impact PC lens with a thermal-resistant body for maximum durability; precision-crafted to match 2024 factory mounting geometry; advanced light reflection technology for enhanced night vision.

Why it ranks third. The 2-unit carton at 0.112 CBM gives this lamp the smallest carton volume in the set, which lowers the cost and storage burden of a first order and makes mixed pallets easier to build for shops that only occasionally see a 2024 Camry. The trade-off is carton count: for the same number of lamps, a 2-unit pack requires twice as many cartons as a 4-unit pack, so a full-container buyer should weigh total carton count and handling time against the smaller footprint. Coverage is also the narrowest here — a single 2024 USA application — which is why it sits third on a coverage-weighted ranking rather than on product quality.

Supporting picks from the wider USA-spec Toyota catalog

Camry owners are not the only USA-market Toyota drivers served by this catalog, and most repair shops and distributors buy across models. Three RAV4 headlamp assemblies and four Corolla headlamp assemblies round out a USA-spec lighting program:

TYJ-RV19-001 — Toyota RAV4 2019 USA headlamp assembly (Gold Auto Part catalog).

• RAV4: TYJ-01-0815 (RAV4 2016 USA, 4 units per carton, 0.169 CBM, UV-coated PC lens bonded to a durable ABS base with an advanced reflector design); TYJ-RV19-001 (RAV4 2019 USA, 4 units per carton, 0.216 CBM, weather-sealed high-impact PC housing with an ultra-clear lens and sharp light cutoff); TYJ-RV22-001 (RAV4 2022 USA, 4 units per carton, 0.25 CBM, OE-matched specification, Ref: L 81150-42D80, for plug-and-play fitment).
• Corolla: TYJ-01-0041 (Corolla 2014 USA, 4 units per carton, 0.175 CBM); TYJ-01-0901 (Corolla 2017 USA, 4 units per carton, 0.162 CBM, impact-resistant clear PC lens with UV protection coating); TYJ-CRU20-031 (Corolla 2020 USA LE, 4 units per carton, 0.316 CBM, crystal-clear optics with a heavy-duty ABS/PC housing); TYJ-CRU23-001 (Corolla 2023 USA, 2 units per carton, 0.189 CBM).

TYJ-CRU20-031 — Toyota Corolla 2020 USA LE headlamp assembly (Gold Auto Part catalog).

How to Choose and Order the Right Camry Headlamp: 5 Steps

Step 1 — Confirm the model year and trim

Start with the vehicle identification number or the door-jamb label, not with the car's appearance. A 2015 Camry and a 2018 Camry use different part numbers in this catalog, and the 2018 range is stated for USA, SE and XSE designations. Trim differences can change which lamp is listed for a given vehicle.

Step 2 — Match the stated scope, not the word "Camry"

Compare the supplier's scope field against the vehicle in front of you. The three Camry lamps here carry three different scopes: TOYOTA CAMRY 2015 USA, TOYOTA CAMRY 2018 USA/SE/XSE, and CAMRY 2024 USA. If a listing does not name the model year and trim, it is not verified fitment for that vehicle.

Step 3 — Compare carton data before comparing unit prices

For bulky lighting assemblies, freight is a large share of landed cost. Collect three numbers per part number: units per carton, carton dimensions, and carton volume in CBM. A 4-unit carton at 0.232 CBM and a 2-unit carton at 0.112 CBM produce very different container plans even when the per-lamp price looks similar.

Step 4 — Check stated material and durability features against real conditions

All three Camry lamps state optic-grade PC and ABS polymers, but the emphasis differs: UV-resistant PC lens with a shockproof ABS body on TYJ-01-1001; heat-dissipation and impact-resistant PC/ABS housing on TYJ-01-0171; thermal-resistant body with advanced light reflection technology on TYJ-01-1080. Match the stated emphasis to the climate and duty cycle the vehicles actually see.

Step 5 — Confirm the supplier and the documentation before bulk ordering

For imported aftermarket lighting, the supplier check matters as much as the part check. Gold Auto Part states that its supply chain partners operate under ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 quality management standards, and that every batch undergoes dimensional inspection, material verification and performance testing before shipment. IATF 16949:2016 is the global quality management standard for the automotive industry and is mandatory for many OEM suppliers (International Automotive Task Force). Ask for batch-level inspection records and the certification documents relevant to the parts you are buying.

Where These Picks Fit: Four Buying Scenarios

Scenario 1 — Independent repair shop handling a 2015 Camry front-end repair

A single-vehicle repair on a 2015 Camry calls for TYJ-01-0171. The stated scope maps directly to the 2015 USA application, the molded alignment is specified for direct fit without modifications, and the 4-unit carton means a shop can hold one carton as shelf stock rather than ordering a single lamp at a time.

Scenario 2 — Distributor covering 2018 Camry SE and XSE owners

A 2018 Camry program is best anchored on TYJ-01-1001, because the stated scope names USA, SE and XSE. One part number covering three designations simplifies catalog pages, reduces picking errors at the counter, and lowers the number of SKUs held for that model year. The stated UV-resistant lens is relevant in high-sun markets where lens hazing shortens service life.

Scenario 3 — Body shop or dealer-alternative working on a 2024 Camry

For newer vehicles, TYJ-01-1080 is the match: it is stated to be precision-crafted to 2024 factory mounting geometry, with a 2-unit carton at 0.112 CBM. The small carton suits shops that do not want to tie up space on a low-frequency part number, and the thermal-resistant body is stated as the durability emphasis for this model.

Scenario 4 — Mixed Toyota fleet or multi-model shop

Shops servicing RAV4, Corolla and Camry vehicles together can build a lighting program from one catalog. On the RAV4 side, TYJ-RV22-001 carries an OE-matched specification (Ref: L 81150-42D80) for plug-and-play fitment. On the Corolla side, TYJ-01-0901 (Corolla 2017 USA) and TYJ-CRU20-031 (Corolla 2020 USA LE) share the same 4-unit packing logic as the Camry lamps, which keeps container planning consistent across the range.

FAQ: Camry Replacement Headlamps and Toyota Parts Suppliers

Conclusion: Match the Part Number to the Camry in Front of You

Camry headlamp replacement in the USA market rewards specificity. TYJ-01-1001 leads this list because its stated scope covers 2018 USA, SE and XSE build designations — the broadest trim coverage of the three. TYJ-01-0171 follows because it delivers the same 4-unit packing in a smaller 0.212 CBM carton for the 2015 USA application. TYJ-01-1080 closes the top three with the smallest carton in the set at 0.112 CBM and a 2-unit pack, matched to 2024 factory mounting geometry.

Across all three, the common thread is stated scope, stated material and stated carton data. Those are the fields a buyer can verify before a purchase order is issued — and the fields that determine whether an imported headlamp becomes a completed repair or a returned carton.
