LED (all trims; sealed unit, no user-replaceable bulb) for the low beam and LED (single bi-LED projector on L/LE/SE; multi-LED on XLE/XSE) 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 Toyota Corolla take? LED (where equipped). ### Can you put LED bulbs in a 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. ## Sources - [2023 Corolla Owner's Manual, maintenance data (Toyota.com)](https://www.toyota.com/owners/warranty-owners-manuals/digital/article/corolla/2023/om02568u/ch08se010401/) - [Toyota Genuine Battery application chart 2023, ZRE212/ZWE21# = LN1, MZEA12 = LN2 (toyotapartsandservice.com)](https://www.toyotapartsandservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/03_Batteries2023_hi.pdf) - [Toyota Genuine Spark Plug application chart 2020, E210 plug part numbers (toyotapartsandservice.com)](https://www.toyotapartsandservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/09_SparkPlugs2020_hi.pdf) - [Toyota Genuine Oil Filter application chart 2020, 90915-YZZF2 for all E210 engines (toyotapartsandservice.com)](https://www.toyotapartsandservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/06_OilFilters2020_hi.pdf) - [AMSOIL vehicle lookup, 2020 Corolla 2.0L M20A-FKS capacities](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2020/toyota/corolla/2-0l-4-cyl-engine-code-m20a-fks-3/) - [Legacy Toyota, Corolla oil type & capacity by year (dealer service guide)](https://www.legacytoyotadallas.com/service/service-and-parts-tips/toyota-corolla-oil-type-and-capacity/) - [fueleconomy.gov, 2021 Corolla / Corolla Hybrid EPA ratings](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2021_Toyota_Corolla.shtml) - [TirePressure.org, 2021 Toyota Corolla placard pressures](https://tirepressure.org/toyota/corolla/2021) - [NHTSA recall 20V-682, Denso fuel pump](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCLRPT-20V682-8151.PDF) - [iFixit, 2018-present Corolla 12V battery replacement (engine-bay location)](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/2018+2019+2020+2021+2022+2023+2024+2025+2026+Toyota+Corolla+12V+Battery+Replacement/226153) ## Find your exact Corolla - [2025](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2025) - [2024](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2024) - [2023](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2023) - [2022](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2022) - [2021](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2021) - [2020](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2020) - [2019](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2019) - [2018](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2018) - [2017](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2017) - [2016](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2016) - [2015](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2015) - [2014](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2014) - [2013](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2013) - [2012](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/2012) More Toyota Corolla guides: - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/oil) - [Battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/battery) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/tires) - [Wiper blades](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/wipers) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/filters) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/toyota/corolla/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
