Evening peeps,

 

Drivers side main beam headlight bulb has just decided to die...

 

Can anyone recommend somewhere I can get one from pretty sharpish or is this going to be a rip off toyota dealer moment?

 

Cheers

Standard bulbs matey

 

9005 IS I THINK THE NORMAL LOW BEAM

 

9006 is high beam

 

Any Halford or car shop

 

Check your connectors though, mine had corroded and had to chop off connector and put on spades

If you have the J-spec plastic headlights the correct spec bulbs are:

 

Low beam = 9006J

High Beam = 9005J

 

However, the 'J' bulbs are different size and fit to the normal 9005/HB3 and 9006/HB4 bulbs and are not sold in the UK AFAIK. If you need new bulbs you will need to fit the following.

 

Low beam = 9005/HB3 (you will need to trim the tabs on the connector to the bulb so they will fit).

High Beam = 9005/HB3 (they are a straight fit).

 

This problem only applies to the plastic J-spec headlights. The spec for the UK glass headlights is:

 

Low beam = 9006/HB4

High Beam = 9005/HB3

Just popped into halfords and was told I'd have to go to toyota as they do not have the correct bulbs for imports!

 

my bulb is 12v 55 and their bulbs are 12v 51 or something like that?

They are talking b*ll*x.

 

As said already any 9005/HB3 bulb will fit/work.
