Toyota Avalon Daytime Running Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The 9005 is the sole bulb type listed across all model years in these specifications. It is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12 volts and 65 watts, fitted with a P20d base, and standardized under ANSI specifications for use in the United States and Canada.
• The Toyota Avalon uses the 9005 bulb for its daytime running lights across the 2013-2018 model years, exclusively in vehicles equipped with halogen capsule headlamps.
• The P20d base is a keyed, push-and-twist style connector. Its physical design is intended to prevent incorrect bulb installation, as the key prevents a mismatched bulb from seating properly.
• At 65 watts, the 9005 is a relatively high-output single-filament halogen bulb. This wattage is consistent with its use in high-beam and daytime running light applications rather than lower-intensity functions such as parking or tail lights.
• The halogen capsule headlamp condition noted in the specifications indicates that this fitment applies only to a specific headlamp configuration. Avalon trims equipped with a different headlamp technology, such as HID or LED, would not share this bulb fitment.
• The 9005 bulb shares its general form factor with the 9006, but the two are not interchangeable. The 9006 is a 55-watt bulb typically used for low-beam applications, and its base tab is positioned differently, preventing direct substitution.
