2012–2013 Toyota Corolla Headlight and Bulb Sizes

Which Toyota Corolla model years does this cover?

These headlight bulbs specifications apply to every Toyota Corolla built from 2012 through 2013 — the E140 (10th generation), compact sedan. 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 2012–2013 Toyota Corolla

• 2012Carryover year for the 2011-facelifted E140; the 2.4L XRS was already discontinued (2010), so all cars are 1.8L 2ZR-FE
• 2013Final E140 year; Special Edition package added. All specs carry over.

What headlight bulb does a 2012–2013 Toyota Corolla use?

9006 (HB4) halogen for the low beam and 9005 (HB3) halogen 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 2012–2013 Toyota Corolla take?

H11 (where equipped).

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2012–2013 Toyota Corolla?

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.
