The options can be overwhelming. I went through this recently, and it turns out there’s more than one size that fits, depending on how bright you want them. Let’s light up the road with some solid advice!
Haha, oh man, I feel your pain! I remember when I had to change the
bulbs on my 2018 Corolla—thought it would be a quick job, but it turned into a whole afternoon project. v8 is spot on with the sizes:
H11 for low beams,
9005 for high beams. But here’s a tip I learned the hard way—if you’re thinking of switching to LEDs, make sure to check the bulb housing. Some
LED kits can be bulky, and if you're unlucky like me, you might need to fiddle around with it or even get an adapter.
Also, pro tip: If you do go the
LED route, consider getting ones with a good cooling system (some come with tiny fans). I didn’t, and one of my
bulbs overheated on a long night drive, which led to a fun roadside adventure. 😅 Just make sure they're aligned right—nobody likes being
that guy blinding everyone on the road. Happy swapping!
