2001 Toyota Echo/Yaris headlight bulbs

Headlight bulbs are absolutely relevant and fitted to the 2001 Toyota Echo/Yaris (XP10). Technical references including the Toyota Owner’s Manual for this model and Toyota’s parts catalogue specify a replaceable halogen dual‑filament H4/9003 (HB2) 60/55 W bulb for the main headlamp. That means the car uses a single bulb per side to provide both low and high beam, not a sealed beam unit.

On this Echo/Yaris, the headlight bulb’s job is simple but vital: throw a clear, well‑aimed beam so night driving and poor‑weather visibility stay safe and legal. Keeping them fresh also helps it pass WOF/rego checks, as beam aim, output and colour are routinely assessed under AU/NZ rules.

As part of routine servicing, it’s smart to check for dimming, a yellowed beam, or a flicker—classic signs a halogen is on the way out. It’s best practice to replace bulbs in pairs so brightness and colour match across both sides. Stick with ADR/WOF‑compliant H4/9003 60/55 W options from reputable makers.

1. Open the bonnet and access the rear of the headlamp.
2. Unclip or twist off the rubber dust cover.
3. Release the spring clip, then withdraw the old bulb.
4. Install the new H4/9003 bulb—don’t touch the glass
