2015 Toyota Vitz/Yaris headlight bulbs

Headlight bulbs are absolutely relevant and used on the 2015 Toyota Vitz/Yaris. Toyota’s service information and owner’s manuals for the 2015 Vitz/Yaris (P13#/NCP13# series) specify replaceable headlight bulbs, with bulb types varying by trim and market. Commonly listed are halogen H4 dual‑filament bulbs for reflector lamps, or H11 (low beam) and HB3/9005 (high beam) for projector/reflector combinations, some higher grades were factory HID using D4S bulbs. Toyota’s Electronic Parts Catalogue and workshop manuals back this up with serviceable bulb part numbers and procedures for removal/refit. So, yes—headlight bulbs are a normal service item on this model.

On a 2015 Vitz/Yaris, the headlight bulbs do the heavy lifting at night and in poor weather—helping the driver see the road and making the car visible to others. Whether halogen or HID, the goal is a stable, well‑aimed beam that meets ADR/NZTA visibility requirements without dazzling oncoming traffic.

As part of routine servicing, it pays to check the headlight operation, clarity of the lenses, and beam aim. Dim light, a yellowish colour shift, or flicker are signs a halogen bulb is on the way out. Replace bulbs in pairs so brightness and colour match left to right. Stick to the correct type and wattage listed on the lamp cover or in the owner’s manual—this protects wiring and keeps the beam legal and predictable.

• Typical fitments on 2015 Vitz/Yaris (varies by grade/market): H4 60/55 W halogen, or H11 low beam + HB3/9005 high beam, some trims use D4S HID.
• Don’t touch the glass of halogen bulbs—use gloves to avoid hot spots and early failure.
• Refit the rubber dust cap and ensure connectors click home to keep moisture out.
• After replacement, check beam height and cut‑off on a flat surface, adjust if needed per Toyota specs.
• If a bulb blows repeatedly, inspect fuses, earthing, and for moisture inside the housing.

Owners considering LED “retrofit” bulbs should be cautious: many LED inserts don’t produce a legal or safe beam in halogen housings and can fail WOF/regos. Where fitted from factory, HID D4S bulbs are also replaceable, but require care around the high‑voltage system—best left to a technician. For peace of mind across Aussie and Kiwi conditions, quality, like‑for‑like bulbs and proper aim are the go.

Popular questions about 2015 Toyota Vitz/Yaris headlight bulbs

What bulb type fits a 2015 Toyota Vitz/Yaris?
It depends on the trim and market. Many use an H4 dual‑filament halogen. Others run H11 (low) with HB3/9005 (high). Some higher grades have HID projectors that take D4S bulbs. The correct type is shown on the headlamp back cover and in the owner’s manual.

Do headlight bulbs need replacing in pairs, and how often?
Yes, replace in pairs so brightness and colour match. Halogen bulbs typically last 2–4 years depending on use. Replace sooner if output looks dim, the colour goes yellow, or the bulb flickers.

Can the 2015 Vitz/Yaris be upgraded to LED bulbs?
Plug‑in LED bulbs in halogen housings often create glare and an incorrect beam pattern, and may not meet ADR/NZ road rules or WOF checks. For a legal, safe upgrade, use the specified halogen/HID type or consider a complete, approved headlamp assembly designed for LED.
