About Headlamp Motors

The Toyota headlamp motor is an electronic device which is an essential part of your vehicle’s lighting system. It works in conjunction with the headlight levelling sensor to position the car headlights in the optimum position for driving, whilst ensuring that oncoming traffic is not affected by the strong beam of the vehicle headlights.

The Toyota headlamp motor is controlled by a cam-operated switch which is dedicated to each headlight and an in-vehicle switch that is situated on the dashboard. The Toyota headlamp motor consists of a series of relays and motors and works by receiving a current from the 12-volt ignition which generates enough power to position the headlights where they need to be as dictated by the headlight levelling sensor.

Damage to the Toyota headlamp motor can be indicated by the headlights not moving up and down or side-to-side when the headlights are used. Damage can be caused by electrical faults, corrosion or jammed gears in the motor. 

Because of the positioning of the motor it is possible that dirt and water can get in to the motor which can cause many issues with the motor. It is recommended that issues with the headlight motor are fixed urgently.

Toyota trivia

• They might be one of the biggest and well-known brand names in the world, but Toyota is still very much a family business. Every CEO so far has been a descendant of the original founder.
• Incredibly, there are more Toyota made cars on the world's roads than any other vehicle. It's not just high sales figures that make that viable either. Their durability means that even Toyotas that were sold 20 years ago are still on the road!
• Although Toyota started making its first cars in 1937, these were specifically produced to contribute to Japan's war effort. It wasn't until 1947 that they started producing cars for civilians.
• As well as their other records, Toyota is known to consistently break sales records as well. It's not just the Corolla either. They have been so successful some years that they outsold Honda and Nissan combined!
• The Toyota Prius is just the latest example of why Toyota is widely considered the greenest company in the car industry. Consistent efforts at improving sustainability and eco-awareness led to them getting voted the number one Global Green Brand back in 2015.
