Summary: do not use LED bulbs in a reflector housing designed for Halogen bulbs.

 

^This, tried all options and I'm back to a halogen just in an H9 rather than H11

 

Those are not stock headlights, so who knows what the hell they take, only that they are inferior, illegal and unsafe. That LED drop in you have pictured cannot work correctly in a halogen housing under any circumstance, but really, you need to get rid of those lights and put in stock OEM halogen projectors or the 2020 OEM LED lights with the appropriate harness.

 

I just want to know what bulb type is it..... anyone knows i know it is not h11

 

looks like the one there is all twist h11, mine was just plug in , has clicp inside . anyone know what bulb is it? it is shorter than h11

 

Well, what did you pull out. There will be a designation on the bulb. Barring that, look up the manufacturer's web site if they have one see what they spec. Barring that, take the bulb you removed and go to an auto parts store and match it up to what they have. It could be any of about five different bulbs but it ain't gonna be hard to figure it out. Get creative.

 

do you mean, the one I have is not Stock lights? I bought this truck used.

 

Thanks for all !

 

My truck is stock 2022, has a halogen-reflector housing. Came with H11, but I replaced with H9.

Someone changed your assembly but left you with no carry-over information. Depending on the state they may be illegal ... no joke. Some state inspections have a list of legal headlight assemblies so you would have to check with local requirements.

If you want to buy replacement OEM halogen assemblies post the request in your "regional forum" (https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/regions.36/) as pretty much ALWAYS someone is replacing halogens assemblies with an LED and have to originals to sell.

EDIT: The person selling the originals may be willing to help you change them back or at least provide some minimal guidance on the process.

 

JFC man, look at the lights. OEM have round projectors for the low beam and reflectors for the high beam and have easily accessed and replaceable halogen bulbs - H9's for the highs and H11's for the lows. The lights that you have in there are crap. They are not legal, nor are they safe, and if you figure out a way to put an LED in there they will only be less safe and perform more poorly than they already do.

 

I know it's not what you want to hear but the best, safest and only legal choices for you to make are to replaces those lights with genuine Toyota parts, either the stock halogen assemblies or, if you want truly state of the art performance, the 2020 LED OEM assembly, which is truly an amazing light. Those are reflector based LED housings and are permanently sealed from the factory as they never need their LED emitters replaced. It will run you about $1500 for lights and a wiring harness but you'll also need to confirm what your truck already has and whether it's already been modified by the idiot who had it before you. If you drive significant miles at night, these are the only lights I'd put on my truck, and they are exactly what I did four years ago. Took a morning to get them in and running and a bit longer to get them properly aligned.

 

Should probably tell him @daveeasa provides the harnesses, and can help confirm if the truck is compatible. But being Off-Road (reported, at least) should be LED compatible.

 

Correct, those are not Toyota OEM headlights.


The white connector looks like a male H9/H11 to me (male is the same for both because there is no OEM male, the females are intended to mate directly to the bulb).

The black connector inside the housing is not waterproof (since the housing is protected by the cap/gasket) and I can't really tell what style it is from that photo.

For "2019 tacoma trd off road" you have TRD halogen wiring and you can either go to OEM LED with a conversion harness (or DIY cut and crimp) or you can go to stock halogen headlights with h9 bulbs (they are super cheap because everyone upgrades to OEM LED, you should be able to source a clean set with no broken tabs for well under $200 / pair).

As mentioned in @Chew 's reply, the first 3 posts of this thread are very worthwhile to read:

good catch! Those do appear to be some aftermarket stuff (IE junk).
Sorry OP, you got had, maybe look for a pair of OE assemblies used, if you do- make darn sure the tabs are not broken off and they are packaged well to ship. If bought new, the OE assemblies (LED or halogen) are very expensive.

 

For the safety and performance that the OEM LED's provide, I actually find them to be quite a bargain in the overall picture, and if they helped avoid even one accident, they more than pay for themselves, plus they just give a certain confidence when driving at night that you can't get anywhere else, well, without a bumper full of auxiliary lights.

 

agreed! If had to replace my OE assemblies, I would nut-up for the LEDs!
Sucks the OP got had on this deal, but this is why one should have a vehicle inspected. Those assemblies probably don't even technically pass most state's safety inspection.

 

I'd consider this a fairly inexpensive lesson and strive to learn more about lighting in general and to understand why these lights are crap and it actually slog through Crash's interminably long (and yes, I read every page but already knew most of it) lighting thread.

About six years ago I bought a '47 Martin 000-18 guitar for what I thought was a pretty good price, and it would have been if that guitar didn't need the repairs I didn't know about at the time, so a neck reset, new frets and a new Brazilian rosewood bridge and bridge plate later - maybe $3K in repairs - made the guitar itself not such a great deal but that three thousand dollars was the cheapest and best education I could ever get in dealing with and understanding vintage guitars, so I know look on that as money extremely well spent, which also convinced me to buy about a thousand dollars in repair tools and start doing minor repairs myself.

I also remember maybe ten years ago or so when my brother convinced me to by these H4 LED replacement bulbs for the Bosch H4's in my '88 911, and holy crap were they awful. Just a mess. Sent them back minus the postage (and it's always minus the postage, isn't it) and bought some high performance H4's and never looked back. The Toyota LED's are an order of magnitude better than those Bosch h4's but since I rarely drive the Porsche and even less so at night, it's not really an issue.
