Headlights/Daytime running lights (With LED headlights), Side turn signal lights (if equipped), High-mount brake light

The LED bulb cannot be replaced as a single unit because it is an integrated unit. The LED bulb has to be replaced with the unit. We recommend your Toyota dealer when the replacement is necessary.

Headlights/Daytime running lights

• To replace the bulb, contact your Toyota dealer.
• If the halogen bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with rubbing alcohol before being used.
• Use the protective cover and carton of the replacement bulb to dispose of the old bulb promptly out of the reach of children.
• When reinstalling the sealing cover, make sure it is fitted correctly.
