2012–2015 Toyota Tacoma Headlight and Bulb Sizes

Which Toyota Tacoma model years does this cover?

These headlight bulbs specifications apply to every Toyota Tacoma built from 2012 through 2015 — the 2nd generation (N250, facelift years), mid-size pickup (regular, access, double cab; 2wd/4wd). 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 2012–2015 Toyota Tacoma

• 2012Facelift year for the 2005–2015 generation: new front end, interior, and Entune head units; mechanical carryover
• 2013Last year of the X-Runner street-performance trim
• 2015Final year of the 2nd generation; TRD Pro trim debuts (265/70R16 with Bilstein suspension)

What headlight bulb does a 2012–2015 Toyota Tacoma use?

H4 (9003/HB2) dual-filament, one bulb serves low and high beam for the low beam and H4 (9003/HB2), same 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 2012–2015 Toyota Tacoma take?

H16 OE (19W); H11 physically interchanges and is commonly installed.

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2012–2015 Toyota Tacoma?

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.
