Full bulb chart for every position, plus whether LED replacements fit the factory housings. ## 2012-2017 Jeep Wrangler bulb chart | Position | Bulb type | | --- | --- | | Low beam | 9008 (H13, halogen composite headlamp) | | High beam | 9008 (H13, same dual-filament bulb as low beam) | | Fog light | 9145 (H10) | | note | Composite sealed headlamp housings on JK. Bulb is user-replaceable but the housing is not interchangeable with JL | Note: Bulb fitments can vary with option packages (halogen vs. LED lighting).

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. - [2012 Wrangler](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012) - [2013 Wrangler](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2013) - [2014 Wrangler](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2014) - [2015 Wrangler](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2015) - [2016 Wrangler](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2016) - [2017 Wrangler](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2017) ## What changed during the 2012-2017 Jeep Wrangler | Years | What changed | | --- | --- | | 2012 | 3.6L Pentastar V6 replaces the old 3.8L V6 across the JK lineup; 5-speed automatic (W5A580) replaces the 4-speed | | 2013 | Moab special edition added; minor trim/options shuffle | | 2015 | Willys Wheeler and Rubicon Hard Rock special editions; no major mechanical changes | | 2017 | Final year of the JK before the JL replaces it for 2018, some 2018-titled JK-based 'Wrangler JK' models were sold as 2018 carryovers alongside the new JL; see JL generation notes | ## 2012-2017 Jeep Wrangler headlight bulbs: common questions ### 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. ## Sources - [Mopar/AMSOIL OE lookup, 2013 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L oil spec](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2013/jeep/wrangler/3-6l-6-cyl-engine-code-g-erb-h/) - [WranglerForum, 3.6L oil capacity (owner's manual quotes, 6 qt)](https://www.wranglerforum.com/answers/how-many-quarts-of-oil-does-a-jeep-wrangler-3-6-take/) - [WranglerForum, Mopar 3.6L oil filter part numbers (spin-on vs. cartridge)](https://www.wranglerforum.com/threads/mopar-3-6l-oil-filters-difference.1640369/) - [ChallengerTalk, Pentastar 3.6L spark plug part number/gap (Champion RER8ZWYCB4 / Mopar SP149125AD)](https://www.challengertalk.com/threads/spark-plug-replacement-for-3-6l-pentastar.213266/) - [WranglerForum, Rubicon Dana 44 rear diff fluid (75W-140 Mopar synthetic)](https://www.wranglerforum.com/threads/diff-oil-gear-oil-for-rubicon-dana-44-rear.2413691/) - [WranglerForum, JK oil-change light reset procedure (accelerator-pedal method)](https://www.wranglerforum.com/threads/oil-change-notification-reset.147085/) - [au7o.io, 3.6L Pentastar oil cooler/filter housing cracking (2012-2025)](https://au7o.io/known-issues/jeep-wrangler) - [Edmunds, 2012 Jeep Wrangler specs (fuel tank, curb weight)](https://www.edmunds.com/jeep/wrangler/2012/features-specs/) - [Car and Driver, 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4WD 2dr specs/EPA mpg](https://www.caranddriver.com/jeep/wrangler/specs/2012/jeep_wrangler_jeep-wrangler-2-door_2012) - [ExtremeTerrain, Jeep Wrangler JK factory tire sizes by trim](https://www.extremeterrain.com/jeep-wrangler-tire-size-guide.html) ## Other Jeep Wrangler generations - [2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler headlight bulbs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2018-2025/bulbs) Or [compare all generations](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/bulbs). ## More for the 2012-2017 Jeep Wrangler - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/oil) - [Battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/battery) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/tires) - [Wiper blades](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/wipers) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/filters) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2012-2017/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
