2016–2023 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 2016 through 2023 — the 3rd generation (N300), mid-size pickup (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 headlight bulb does a 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma use?

H11 halogen (2016–2019 all trims; 2020–2023 SR/SR5). Sealed LED units on 2020+ TRD Sport/Off-Road (option), Limited, TRD Pro, no user-replaceable bulb for the low beam and 9005 (HB3) on halogen housings 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 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma take?

H16 (19W) halogen; LED fogs on upper 2020+ trims.

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2016–2023 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.
