The Correct Bulb for Passenger Headlight

take the old bulb out and bring it with you to a dealer. ask which it is and get a price.

then go to a parts store and do the same. see what alternatives they have.

alternatively, sign up at toyota.com/owners, enter your vin, and see if it tells you which headlights.

yeah, get a two pack. they are available on line as well.

 

If you have halogen, I got the Hella 9003LL extended life bulbs from RockAuto.
2008 TOYOTA PRIUS 1.5L L4 ELECTRIC/GAS Headlamp Bulb | RockAuto
They're $2.73/piece plus shipping, and if you can find some other cheap maintenance parts while you're at it, shipping will be negligible for all of it, and you get extended-life bulbs out of it.

Also, do replace both bulbs. Otherwise you'll have two very different brightnesses, and you'll just have to replace the other one soon too. Seriously, for $2.73, why not? Improve your safety while you're at it.

 

I love the price on the bulb from RockAuto.

But disagree about replacing them both at the same time.. my rig, the passenger side blew out and I replaced with the Napa 9003.....a year later the SAME passenger side blew out again.....almost to the day -- one year.

Then I replaced with a Sylvania 9003. Driver's side died about two years later -- a long time after passenger side's first death. Replaced with Sylvania again (they were $9 each).

Never noticed significant difference in brightness between the two and I checked.

It's a PITA to replace them, I have to remove the bumper cover -- partially -- my big man hands don't fit. Some folks can do the job without messing withe bumper cover --if you can, my congrats!

You can usually save a buck or two on shipping thru RockAuto if you have orders shipped to a business address.

having changed my bulbs multiple times the best bulb to buy that lasts the longest is the factory oem bulb from the dealer.
Buy online like Olathe Toyota.

At 130,000 miles all the bulbs should be replaced. Rears are easy.

The Sylvania's you can buy at the parts store are super bright with short life. When you replace the bulbs look closely at the socket to see if its burned up or not.

Best way to replace the bulbs is to pull the top of the bumper down enough to get the entire headlight assy out. It requires a few bolts removed. I can do mine in about 5 minutes.
