What kind of headlight bulb for 2007 Toyota Avanza?

The 2007 Toyota Avanza commonly uses an H4 dual-filament headlight bulb (HB2/9003) for the main headlights, though exact configuration can vary by market and trim.


To determine the correct bulb for your specific car, check the owner's manual, inspect the current bulb for markings, or compare the headlight housing to common base types. The guide below explains how to verify the correct bulb and what replacement options are typical.


How to confirm your headlight bulb type


Use these steps to verify the correct bulb type for your Avanza:



  • Check the owner's manual or service manual for the exact headlight bulb specification for your model year and market.

  • Remove the bulb from the headlight housing and read the stamped part number on the base (for example, H4, 9003, HB2, or H7). Compare with replacement part listings.

  • Observe the headlight assembly: a single bulb with two filaments indicates H4; two separate bulbs in the same housing indicate separate high/low-beam units (often H7 with a separate low/high setup in some variants).


Concluding note: If you are unsure after checking manuals and the bulb, bring a current bulb to an auto parts store or consult a dealer to confirm the exact specification for your VIN and market.


Common bulb types and what they mean for replacement


The Avanza's headlight assemblies in many markets accept the following common bulb configurations. The exact type depends on your vehicle's trim and regional specification.



  • H4 (HB2/9003) dual-filament bulbs: a single bulb with two filaments for low and high beams in one unit.

  • H7 bulbs with separate high/low-beam setup: two distinct bulbs in the headlight housing for low and high beams (more common in markets with two-bulb assemblies).

  • Other single-beam options (H1, H11, etc.): less common for the Avanza in many regions but may appear on some trims or aftermarket retrofit kits.


Concluding note: Once you identify the exact bulb type, you can choose from standard halogen replacements or opt for brighter aftermarket options. Always ensure beam alignment after replacement.


Replacement suggestions by bulb type (examples)


Below are popular replacement options associated with the common bulb types found on the Avanza. These are examples and not endorsements; verify compatibility before purchasing.



  • H4 (HB2/9003) dual-filament: Philips X-tremeVision, Osram Night Breaker Plus/Ultra, Sylvania SilverStar Ultra

  • H7 (single-beam or dual-beam variants): Philips X-tremeVision, Osram Night Breaker Laser/Plus


Concluding note: Seek bulbs with the correct wattage and bayonet/connector type; incorrect bulbs can damage wiring or cause beam misalignment.


Summary


In brief, the 2007 Toyota Avanza commonly uses an H4 dual-filament headlight bulb, but regional variations exist. To ensure you buy the right part, verify with your manual or the bulb base markings, and consult a parts specialist if in doubt. Proper installation and beam alignment are essential for safety on the road.

Is a H11 bulb high or low beam?


An H11 bulb is typically used for low beam headlights and fog lights, while the 9005 (HB3) bulb is commonly used for the high beam. While H11 bulbs are designed for low beams, always check your vehicle's manual to confirm the correct bulb type for your specific car, as some vehicles may use them for high beams as well.

  • 9005 (HB3): Typically used for high beams, providing higher brightness than H11 bulbs.
