2014–2019 Toyota Corolla bulb chart
| Position | Bulb type |
|---|---|
| Low beam | LED (standard on every trim from 2014, sealed projector, no user-replaceable bulb) |
| High beam | 9005 (HB3) halogen on most 2014–2016 trims; bi-LED units on many 2017–2019 trims handle both beams |
| Fog light | H16 (where equipped, 2014–2016); LED on 2017–2019 XSE/SE packages |
| note | The E170 made LED low beams standard on all trims, a first in the class. Low-beam failures are assembly-level repairs, not bulbs. |
Bulb fitments can vary with option packages (halogen vs. LED lighting). Confirm the bulb you are removing matches before ordering.

2014–2019 Toyota Corolla headlight bulbs: common questions
What headlight bulb does a 2014–2019 Toyota Corolla use?
- LED (standard on every trim from 2014, sealed projector, no user-replaceable bulb) for the low beam and 9005 (HB3) halogen on most 2014–2016 trims; bi-LED units on many 2017–2019 trims handle both beams 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 2014–2019 Toyota Corolla take?
- H16 (where equipped, 2014–2016); LED on 2017–2019 XSE/SE packages.
Can you put LED bulbs in a 2014–2019 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.
