Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition CBS-1816 is a headlight dimmer switch engineered for vehicles that use a combination lighting control layout. It supports headlight selection, high-beam operation, running lights, and turn signal signaling through a single switch assembly. The black plastic housing, blade terminals, and rectangular connector are designed for straightforward electrical integration in the correct Toyota Camry application.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition CBS-1816 for the same application. It is listed for 2005 Toyota Camry and 2006 Toyota Camry configurations with notes for daytime running lights, auto headlights, fog-light exclusions, and build-location-specific fitment. If you are replacing a worn or intermittent Toyota Camry headlight dimmer switch, this part number is a direct reference to verify before installation.

What It Helps Fix

• Headlights that do not switch properly between low and high beam
• Turn signal operation that is inconsistent or nonfunctional
• Running lights that fail to respond at the switch
• Dimmer control that feels loose, sticky, or intermittent
• Lighting control issues in Toyota Camry models with auto headlights or DRL

Installation Notes

Verify the connector shape, terminal count, and vehicle build notes before installation. This CBS-1816 uses a bolt-on attachment method and a single female connector, so matching the original switch layout is important for proper operation. Confirm your Toyota Camry’s equipment package, including daytime running lights, auto headlights, fog-light configuration, and build location, against the listed fitment.
