Toyota Land Cruiser Glove Box Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Toyota Land Cruiser uses the 74 bulb for its glove box across model years 1986-1987 and 1993-2015.
• The 74 bulb is an ANSI-standardized type recognized across the United States and Canada, meaning replacement units sourced from either market are electrically and physically equivalent.
• The 74 bulb follows the T5 miniature wedge form factor. The T5 designation refers to a tubular glass envelope that is 5/8 of an inch wide, and the wedge base replaces a traditional metal socket pin with a pinched glass base that friction-fits directly into the housing.
• The 74 bulb operates at 12 volts and draws 1.4 watts, placing it among the lowest-wattage bulbs in automotive applications. This output level is appropriate for close-range interior illumination such as a glove box.
• Because the 74 is a wedge-base bulb, it is not interchangeable with bayonet-base or festoon-style bulbs even when those types share a similar voltage or wattage rating. Physical base compatibility is a separate consideration from electrical ratings.
• The consistent use of a single bulb type across a span of nearly three decades of Land Cruiser production indicates a stable glove box lamp socket specification throughout that period.
