Choosing the right headlight or fog light bulb is crucial for both driving safety and proper fitment. Follow this simple guide to find the correct bulbs for your car
Step 1: Check Your Owner’s Manual
Your vehicle owner’s manual usually lists the correct bulb types for:
-
Low Beam Headlights
-
High Beam Headlights
-
Fog Lights
-
Turn Signals
-
Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
Look for codes like H11, 9005, H7, H4, etc.
Step 2: Use an Online Vehicle Bulb Finder
You can easily find the right bulbs online by entering your:
-
Make (e.g. Toyota)
-
Model (e.g. Camry)
-
Year (e.g. 2018)
Try our [Bulb Finder Tool] or contact our customer support for quick help.
Step 3: Check the Original Bulb
If you're not sure, remove the current bulb from your headlight or fog light housing. The bulb base usually has a marking (e.g. H11, 9005, etc.).
Be sure to:
-
Take a photo of the bulb and connector
-
Note the shape of the base and plug type
-
Compare it with product photos when shopping
Step 4: Confirm Compatibility Before Buying
Make sure the new bulb matches:
-
Bulb Type (e.g. H11 vs. 9006)
-
Plug Type
-
Wattage and Voltage
-
Vehicle system type (halogen, HID, or LED)
If you're switching from halogen to LED, make sure to choose CANBUS-ready or error-free bulbs if needed.
