2012–2017 Jeep Wrangler Headlight and Bulb Sizes

Which Jeep Wrangler model years does this cover?

These headlight bulbs specifications apply to every Jeep Wrangler built from 2012 through 2017 — the JK (2007–2018 platform; US 2012–2017 shown), off-road suv, solid front/rear axle (2-door; 4-door unlimited). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. Pick your year for the engines it offered, what changed that year, and the problems recorded against it.

What changed during the 2012–2017 Jeep Wrangler

• 20123.6L Pentastar V6 replaces the old 3.8L V6 across the JK lineup; 5-speed automatic (W5A580) replaces the 4-speed

What headlight bulb does a 2012–2017 Jeep Wrangler use?

9008 (H13, halogen composite headlamp) for the low beam and 9008 (H13, same dual-filament bulb as low beam) for the high beam. Trims with factory LED or HID projectors use a sealed assembly instead and are not bulb-serviceable.

What fog light bulb does a 2012–2017 Jeep Wrangler take?

9145 (H10).

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2012–2017 Jeep Wrangler?

Physically, yes, LED replacements exist in every common base. Whether they work well depends on the housing: a reflector housing designed around a halogen filament scatters LED output into oncoming traffic instead of down the road. Projector housings tolerate the swap far better. Some vehicles also flag the lower current draw as a bulb-out fault.
