How to change the low beam light bulb on a Toyota Corolla
Replacing a low beam lamp on a Toyota Corolla 120 (2000–2006) and 150 (2006–2013) does not require professional knowledge of an electrician. This operation is not at all complicated, and if you follow the instructions below, you won’t have to wonder how to change the light bulbs.
Before purchasing new lamps, you need to know which ones are included in the Corolla optics.
For clarity, below is a picture indicating suitable light bulbs for the Corolla.
Important! Middle HB4 not to be confused with H4
Recommendations for the care and maintenance of power system elements
- carry out a technical inspection of the car, its components and assemblies strictly in accordance with the schedule in the operating instructions and service book;
- Always check the condition of the wiring and connectors after an accident, impact, collision, or long drive through puddles;
- identified melted connectors must be immediately replaced with new ones;
- After activating the ignition and starting the engine, always inspect the instrument panel. On most modern cars, the on-board computer will promptly notify the driver of a malfunction in the lighting system of the vehicle.
First way. Replacing lamps from the inside
So, we are changing the low beam lamp in a Toyota Corolla. To do this, open the hood of the car from inside the car. The front part of the hood is covered with a plastic casing (cover), which complicates access to the internal components. This cover provides some degree of sound insulation, softening the sounds of operating components and the closing of the hood. We first need to remove this cover, and to do this we take out the clips.
- The clips are removed in two ways. Either by pressing the middle button down, as a result of which the spring inside the mechanism is activated and the clip pops out, or they can be lifted by picking them up with a knife and then calmly pulled out. Once you have pulled out all the clips, the cover can be removed very easily.
In the left headlight of a Toyota Corolla, replacing the lamps is much easier than in the right one. To begin with, the low beam lamp is disconnected from the power source, whose plug with wiring is inserted directly into the base, which has a special socket. You remove the plug from the base by moving it towards you, not forgetting to press the latch first, then move the lamp itself from its socket with a slight turn counterclockwise and calmly remove it.
- Holding it by the base, take the new one out of the box and insert it into its place. It is equipped with guides that will help you install it correctly. By turning it slightly clockwise until it clicks, the minion base is fixed in the socket. Connect the power supply. That's all. It is done. You can check how the new lamp works. Is it burning? This means everything was done correctly. Now you can replace the cover, insert and secure the clips, and close the hood.
To replace the low beam on the right headlight of a Toyota Corolla, in addition to the casing, it is necessary to remove the engine expansion tank.
- To do this, unscrew 2 bolts (you will need a #10 wrench) and remove the tank from the car.
After replacement, install the expansion tank in its place and tighten the bolts. You also put the casing in place. The whole job may take you no more than 5 minutes.
License plate light
To replace the license plate light, you will need to place the car on a level platform, squeeze the hand parking brake, and open the luggage compartment.
Using a flat-tip screwdriver, remove a number of plastic clips and remove the trim from the body and trunk lid. We unscrew the socket with the old lamp clockwise and screw in the new one. We assemble the structure, start the engine, and check that the system is working properly.
How to change low beam light bulb on Toyota Corolla
Replacing a low beam lamp on a Toyota Corolla 120 (2000–2006) and 150 (2006–2013) does not require the expertise of an electrician. This operation is not at all easy, and if you follow the instructions below, you won’t have to wonder how to change the light bulbs.
Replacement procedure
Replacing a light bulb can be done in two ways. Each of them will be discussed in this block.
So, the first method. With its help, the car owner will be able to change the device from the inside. To do this you will have to open the hood of the car. The next steps are:
- Remove the left terminal from the battery.
- Remove the plastic cover. It is made specifically to increase the sound insulation of the car and prohibit open access to some components. To remove it you need to pull out all the clips that secure it to the metal of the car.
- First, the light bulb is replaced on the left side. Since in this direction it is much easier to change the device. Disconnect the glass device from the power supply.
- Remove the lamp base from the socket by moving it towards you.
- Turn the lamp counterclockwise and remove it.
- Pull the new light fixture out by the base and insert it into the socket. This is easy to do since the device is equipped with guides. Lock it inside and turn it until you hear a click.
- Now go to the right side if it doesn't light up either.
- Remove the engine expansion tank by unscrewing the 2 bolts that hold it in place.
- Next, the car owner will see the washer fluid reservoir. But you can't touch her. You need to take a mirror and use it to find the location of the light bulb.
- Repeat all the same steps that were done on the left side of the car with the lighting fixture.
- Install the removed components in reverse order.
This is the method used to change lighting fixtures on a Toyota Corolla. There is another way. But to perform a replacement using it, you will need a jack or a pit. Since the ground clearance of the Toyota Coroll is too low for a person to turn around freely under the car.
Steps of the second method:
- Remove the left terminal from the vehicle battery.
- Remove the car bumper to give access to the headlight mounts.
- Using a ten key you will need to unscrew two screws on the sides and one screw under the headlight.
- Remove the five power plugs. Disconnect the latch of the radiator grille, which will not allow the lamp to be removed.
- Now the car owner has access to the vehicle's headlight. If you examine it nearby, the driver will be able to understand that it consists of two low-beam minions and three high-beam ones.
- Remove the lamp from the socket. How this is done is described in detail in the first method. The method is absolutely identical, only the location of action changes.
- After the change is made, you need to install all components in the reverse order.
Now the car owner has become familiar with the second method. Which one to actually use is up to him to decide.

It's easy to modify the bumper to accommodate fog lights. Indeed, in sedan, station wagon, and hatchback bodies of the Toyota Corolla 150, the manufacturer took into account everything that allows the PTF installation to be carried out quickly and without specialized skills. So, the Corolla 150 is provided with: a connector for the headlight and for the button, as well as a plug for connecting to the standard wiring. The main thing here is the high quality of fog lights. Such lamps work longer, and the brightness of the glow will not disappoint. The main thing is to remember that the permitted colors of lights are white and yellow; other color variations are prohibited for installation.

Replacement e150 body
On a Toyota Coral car, low beam bulbs can be changed in two ways:
From the inside
First of all, the hood opens; you can open it from inside the car, after which you need to do the following:
- You need to remove the plastic protection that is held on by clips, you can remove them by pressing the middle button at the bottom, as a result of this the mechanism will work and the clip together with the spring can be easily disconnected. You can also pull them out simply by picking them up with a knife or a flat-head screwdriver. When all the clips are disconnected, you can remove the protection.
- When the protective cover is removed, access to the headlight unit, which is responsible for the high and low beam of the Toyota Corolla 150, opens. It is much easier to replace light bulbs on the left side than on the right. To remove the low beam lamp, it must be disconnected from the power supply, since its wiring with a plug is inserted into the base itself with a special socket. To do this, the latch is pressed, and the lamp is quietly removed from the base by turning it counterclockwise from the mounting socket.
- The new one is installed as simply as removing the old lamp; to do this, the new light element must be taken by the base and installed in its seat; for convenience and correct installation, there are special guides on it. When the lamp is installed in the socket, the base turns clockwise until it clicks, which means that it is locked in the socket. Then the power is connected.
After replacement, you should check the serviceability of the headlights; if everything works, you can put everything back together. If suddenly the light does not come on, you need to check the fuses and relays
.
It is important to know that when replacing an old light bulb with a new one, holding onto the light bulb itself is not recommended, since there is a high probability that it will fail. It is also not recommended to replace it in high humidity, since trapped moisture can also cause rapid failure of the lamp.
If the right low beam lamp of a Toyota Corolla has burned out, then in addition to the protective casing, you also need to remove the expansion tank. To remove it you need:
- Unscrew the two bolts, this can be done using a 10mm wrench, and remove the tank.
- In addition to the reservoir, the neck of the washer can prevent you from getting to the light bulb, since it makes the view very poor, but there is no need to remove it, just take a mirror and place it on the side, this way you can see where the lamp is located. Once the location is certain, you can start replacing. It changes in the same way as the left light bulb.
Outside
This replacement method involves removing the front bumper, as well as the presence of a jack or pit. The bumper must be removed to gain access to the headlight mounts. When access is obtained, you can proceed to replacement:
- All five plugs that supply them with electricity are disconnected from the headlight. Using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the fastening bolts, there are three in total, two on the side and one under the headlight, you also need to remember to unscrew one self-tapping screw.
- There are five bulbs in the headlight itself; the one on the edge is responsible for the low beam; it is removed and replaced with a new one.
After replacement, all actions are performed in the reverse order.
Tell me about HB-4 low beam lamps.
Forum members, good! Tell me about this issue. There are standard low beam lamps (Spasio 2001), apparently still factory. I would like something from the latest developments in this area (not xenon), in general - more light for better visibility. I thought it was OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER, but OSRAM doesn’t seem to have this type (HB-4) (maybe I didn’t look well). Who can tell me what? Thank you!

Osram is possible, I wanted to install it myself, they dissuaded me, they said the lamps would not last long.
What type of OSRAM lamps is suitable?
I have an OSRAM cool blue 4300k for 350 rubles. per piece, but I have an H-4 socket =))))) It seems that Philipps are not bad light bulbs with such an HB4 socket. The bluer the glass of the light bulb, the whiter the light will be.
Yes, the fact of the matter is that the H-4 base is more popular than the HB-4. Thanks, I'll take a closer look at Philips.
OSRAM has COOL BLUE for HB4, code 9006CB. Temperature 4000K. Philips Blue Vision has code 9006BV+B1 4000K.
OSRAM has COOL BLUE for HB4, code 9006CB. Temperature 4000K. Philips Blue Vision has code 9006BV+B1 4000K.
Something I didn’t find in our city was Philips Blue Vision. although I was originally looking for them.
I didn’t find any fils either, so I picked up OSRAM COOL BLUE 4300K at ROSCO.
So how is it? As I understand it, it’s all the same as the standard one, for example in terms of power, but just white, like xenon. white color - better in dry weather, worse in rain! right? Has anyone installed more than 55W, for example they sell 60 and 65, does the headlight die? Our headlights have two bulbs, the high beam is HB3 and the low beam is HB4. If, for example, you change the light, then it’s better to have both at once, it’s probably a mess whether the high beam is on or not. I found the best option only from PIAA, but the price is steep: https://www.xeno. a/413.html
Formmen, I have a Toyota Corolla 2007 U150 body, I bought a Philips HB4 lamp and it doesn’t fit in diameter. Can someone tell me?
I have 80W Chinese ones in my neighbor, everything is fine.
