Bulbs for TOYOTA COROLLA (E10, E11, E12, E15, E80, E86, E90, E120, E160, E180)

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

1. To do this, unscrew 2 bolts (you will need a #10 wrench) and remove the tank from the car.
2. Another obstacle on the way to the lamp is the washer neck. It blocks the view, the lamp socket is not visible. But you should not touch the washer, as it will not interfere with the work. To see the lamp socket, use an ordinary small mirror. Bring it to the side and it will show you where the lamp is. Next, perform the same manipulations as with the left lamp.

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.

Replacement

To replace the low beam bulbs, you must first open the hood. In its space you will see a plastic protection that is held on by six clips. Each clip has a plug in the middle that you need to lift up by pressing on its core. This is best done with a knife with a thin blade.

Remove the entire protection panel and set it aside. Now we have access to the low beam headlight unit and the sidelights. Looking there, you can see that each headlight has a chip with two wires.

Carefully remove it, trying not to damage the wires. The chip came to the base of the light bulb, which was unscrewed with a quarter turn counterclockwise.

Replacing High/Low Beam

Carefully remove the plastic protection; it is secured with three clips. If necessary, lightly press with your finger in the center for ease of dismantling. We unscrew the faulty lamp and replace it with a new one. We inspect the integrity of the insulating layer and connectors. If there is damage, replace it with new ones. If the design has a pre-installed control unit, it is also subject to checking for integrity and quality of fixation.

How to replace a headlight bulb?

The low beam on the left headlight has burned out, tell me how to change the lamp? Body 121. I read it in the book, I can’t figure it out and I don’t want to break anything. Maybe someone has replaced the lamps - tell me!

Where the battery is, I understand, you remove the plug and turn it, I don’t remember where, but it won’t break. Shine a flashlight, headlamp or pocket flashlight into your teeth. because the first time and if the battery is ours, i.e. It is better to remove large dimensions. Keep in mind that it is difficult to insert a new lamp without scratching the surface of the glass of the lamp, practice on a burnt one that has been removed.

Yaruzh, thank you, I’ll try it! In the store there is an Osram 310 wooden lamp, they also say they need a sample. They give it. And my battery is the same size, I tried it, my hand fits through it. I unfasten the clasp, so I can turn it.

The main thing is, when you insert a new lamp, do not touch the glass bulb with your hands.

how to insert? what to wrap a light bulb in?

I didn’t wrap it with anything, very neatly around the base

All! Replaced the lamp! In fact, everything is very simple. I came to the store (without advertising) and bought a low beam bulb. On our cars they are separate from the distant one, everyone knows that. It costs 420 rubles, not 310 as I wrote above. The lamp is sold together with a socket. Immediately at the store, I raised the hood and stuck my hand in, not very convenient, but possible. Carefully unfastened the plug. First he was pushed up, then he pressed the locking tab and he easily got off. Then he slightly turned the “socket” on the lamp upwards (if you stand facing the car, it will turn out clockwise) and carefully removed the lamp from the socket. He inserted the new one carefully, without touching or touching anything, turned it counterclockwise (while facing the car) until it stops, put it on and snapped the plug. Voila, let there be light. Everything works wonderfully. What a mini renovation!

To everyone who responded - thanks for the tips!

Has anyone tried LED lights in the middle? https://www.dled. 18_SMD5050

They blind, but do not shine. Tests were carried out both on the Main Road and Behind the Wheel. Don't waste your money. LEDs are best used in sidelights and daytime running lights.

if memory serves, then we have hb3 in the high beam, and hb4 in the low beam, I like Philips ultra vision lamps, good white light

ps: it’s good that when my hand can fit in, I could barely reach the right side to change the light bulb

Sticking your hand into the lamp, of course, will be a little problematic, although you can get the hang of removing the connector - here it’s a little more than problematic, there are certain inconveniences, but everything can be solved quickly.

Second way. Replacing lamps outside

Replacing the low beam on a Toyota Corolla can be done in another way. For this you will need a jack or a hole in the garage to unscrew the front bumper. The Toyota Corolla has a low landing and therefore, in order to get under the body, the car must be lifted. The bumper is removed to provide access to the headlights, or rather, to the headlight mounts.

1. Using a No. 10 pipe wrench, unscrew the bolt under the headlight and the two bolts on the sides. Using a figured screwdriver, unscrew the self-tapping screw. When removing the headlight, do not forget about the latch located near the radiator grille. There are wires running to each lamp and they will not allow you to remove the headlight without problems. You need to remove 5 power plugs. To do this, you need to press the latch and simply pull the plug towards you.
2. The headlight of a Toyota Corolla car consists of 5 bulbs, two of which - low beam and high beam bulbs - are larger than the others. The low beam is located at the edge of the headlight. We take it out of the nest. How to remove and insert the lamp into place, see the first part of the article.
3. Further, all operations are performed in reverse order. Insert all the plugs into the sockets, insert the headlight into place, screw in the bolts and self-tapping screw. Install the bumper.

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.

I was thinking about quickly changing it and being free. But no, well done Residents of the Land of the Rising Sun, you need to work hard here! Unscrew a dozen bolts and remove the bumper! It took about two hours to do everything! (with smoke breaks) Maybe someone will need it. Good luck to everyone on the roads!

Blue color

In fact, their color is close to blue, but traders still call them blue lamps. People who are not knowledgeable confuse their light with xenon, since it is really similar, just not as powerful. This lighting is due to the blue coating on the test tube. The advantage of such light is that it tires the eyes even less than usual.

The selection of lamps with HB4 socket is limited.

Durable

Recommended for those who spend a lot of time driving at night. Such lamps are capable of working as much as twice as much as usual. Durability is ensured due to the vibration resistance of the base and the special gas contained in the test tube. Manufacturers designate such headlights as Long Life.

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:

1. Remove the left terminal from the battery.

2. 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.
3. 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.

4. Remove the lamp base from the socket by moving it towards you.

5. Turn the lamp counterclockwise and remove it.
6. 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.
7. Now go to the right side if it doesn't light up either.
8. Remove the engine expansion tank by unscrewing the 2 bolts that hold it in place.

9. 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.
10. Repeat all the same steps that were done on the left side of the car with the lighting fixture.
11. 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:

1. Remove the left terminal from the vehicle battery.

2. Remove the car bumper to give access to the headlight mounts.

3. Using a ten key you will need to unscrew two screws on the sides and one screw under the headlight.
4. Remove the five power plugs. Disconnect the latch of the radiator grille, which will not allow the lamp to be removed.
5. 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.
6. 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.

7. 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.

How to change the low and high beam bulb in a Toyota Corolla

The light may not work due to a blown fuse, poor contact, or broken lighting element. Before purchasing lamps, you should familiarize yourself with the installed optics and the manufacturer's recommendations.

Lamp selection

Corolla optics of different configurations require a certain type of base. Japanese HB4 Koito Whitebeam 12V 55W are popular, their only drawback is cost. The Philips Crystal Vision HB4 features bright white light.

Lamps in Toyota Corolla

Bulbs for Corolla are:

The dimensions are shown in the table:

For xenon low beam you need a D2R base, other characteristics are the same. Before installing more powerful lighting, you should consult a specialist. The reason is that with the same base, but a smaller cross-section, the cable may burn out or the insulating layer will melt.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing lamps

There are 2 methods for replacing optics in Toyota Corolla E11, E120, E150 (pre-styling and restyling).

Updating the low and high beam using the internal method begins by disconnecting the left battery terminal and is performed in the following sequence:

1. Open the hood and remove the plastic casing that insulates engine noise. The case is held in place by 2 clips.
2. Press the button and disconnect the lamp power connector in the left lamp. Then turn the light bulb counterclockwise and pull it towards you.
3. Take a new light bulb and insert it into the slots until it clicks.
4. Connect power and check operation.

According to the owners' reviews, you don't have to disassemble it, but use a small mirror to increase the view. Next, you need to change the light bulb in the right headlight of the Toyota Corolla. You can first disconnect the power plug, then pull out the lighting element, or take out the whole thing and then disconnect it. The final stage is the installation of the removed components.

You need to change it externally in the following order:

1. Remove the bumper.
2. Unscrew the 3 screws - on the sides and bottom of the headlight.
3. Disconnect the power supply and the radiator grille.
4. Remove the light source and install a new one, holding only the socket.

Now we need to put everything back in place.

Replacing High/Low Beam

Carefully remove the plastic protection; it is secured with three clips. If necessary, lightly press with your finger in the center for ease of dismantling. We unscrew the faulty lamp and replace it with a new one. We inspect the integrity of the insulating layer and connectors. If there is damage, replace it with new ones. If the design has a pre-installed control unit, it is also subject to checking for integrity and quality of fixation.

What should you know about car optics?

The lighting system of the Toyota Corolla car includes front and rear optics. The head optics include headlights, fog lights, and daytime running lights. Rear optics include taillights, brake lights, license plate lights and others. There are markers and turn signals installed at both the front and rear.

Headlight Toyota Corolla 120

Selection options

The entire lighting system consists of signaling and lighting devices. Over time, lighting elements fail and require replacement (video author: Remontiruem Svoe Avto).

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.

Instructions for replacing lamps in PTF

To get to the fog lamp, just unscrew the lower plastic mudguard. To do this, using a Phillips screwdriver or a 10 mm socket, unscrew the screw fastening the plastic mudguard, and also pull out the two latches.

Next, carefully bend the mudguard down and turn the arrows counterclockwise half a turn with your hand and take out the old burnt out lamp.

We disconnect the block from the old lamp, connect it to the new lamp and install the lamp in place.

Do not touch the bulb of the new lamp with your hands!

As you can see, the replacement process is very simple and no special skills or special tools are required.

Interior lighting

We carry out the replacement ourselves, the process is simple and intuitive. If difficulties arise, we involve workshop specialists.

Using a flat-tip screwdriver, carefully pry off the outer cover of the lamp. It is tightly fitted to the ceiling trim with three latches. Careless actions or excessive force will damage the plastic, be careful. We remove the cover, remove two diodes, install new ones. Ready.

We carry out troubleshooting of the cover, check the tightness of fit and fixation.

For information

The white light of the lamp (over 5000K) is more aesthetic than practical. In conditions of fog and increased dampness, visibility will remain limited and the effectiveness of such lighting is minimal. Consider this factor when purchasing.

A lighting device with increased brightness serves less than its counterparts with a standard coefficient. If you need additional light, be prepared for a short life.

Xenon lamps are officially prohibited for installation on the Toyota Corolla 150, as well as other modifications. Instead, they are actively installing LED analogues. Of course, they are not comparable to halogen ones, but in low beam they illuminate the road well.

Popular manufacturers of diode lamps for Toyota Corolla: KOITO, GE, MTF, NARVA, OSRAM, PHILIPS, VALEO, DiaLUCH. The cost of original diode ones varies from 7,000 rubles, while Chinese alternative optics offer a cheaper option, for 1,500 – 2,000 rubles.

General recommendations for lamp selection

The owner can supply improved parts to luminaires designed for similar parts.

Standard products in head optics emit light with a color temperature of 3000K. It is possible to use products with a parameter increased to 4500-6000K, but in rainy or foggy weather the quality of road lighting deteriorates due to the reflection of the flow. There are products with bulbs partially painted with colored varnish (for example, Philips ColorVision), and the emitted light is white. On some parts, a blue glass body is used, which allows the color temperature to be increased to 5000K. The use of such products is permitted.

When purchasing products, you need to pay attention to the packaging, which indicates the main technical parameters and lists the standards to which the lamp meets. It is not allowed to install elements marked Not for use in Europe or Offroad use only, since such parts may not comply with technical regulations. It is prohibited to install LED elements in lighting devices designed for products with an incandescent filament located at a fixed level.

A little about security

During the replacement process, follow some safety rules:

1. When replacing, do not touch the glass of the new lamp with your hands. There may be particles of fat from your fingers or oil left on it, which you may inadvertently stain your hands with. The thin glass of the lamp heats up to very high temperatures and grease that gets on it will easily damage the lamp. Before installation, it is advisable to wipe it with a dry, lint-free cloth.
2. Never work under voltage. In addition to the fact that you may receive an electric shock (and this in itself is unpleasant), there is a danger that even a burnt-out minion may shatter into small pieces (and there have been such precedents). Therefore, whenever possible, wear safety glasses.

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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:

1. Unscrew the two bolts, this can be done using a 10mm wrench, and remove the tank.
2. 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:

1. 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.
2. 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.

Do-it-yourself dismantling and replacement of low beam lamps

To replace light bulbs on a Toyota Corolla, you need to remove the headlight.

The procedures for removing and replacing lamps consist of the following sequence of actions:

1. First you need to dismantle the bumper to have access to the optics.
2. To remove the headlight, you need to unscrew the mounting bolts.
3. When dismantling the headlight unit, you need to disconnect 5 power connectors.
4. In order to remove the lamp, you need to turn it to the left.
5. Next, install the new light bulb without touching the glass with your bare hands.
6. Insert it into the socket and turn it to the right to secure it.
7. We connect the plugs and check the operation in 5 modes.
8. If everything is fine, we reassemble in reverse order.

This completes the replacement process and you can use the car.
