Toyota Matrix Fog Light Bulb Size

Toyota Matrix front fog light bulbs utilize either H11 or 9006 bulb sizes depending on production specifications. The replacement chart covers vehicle data spanning 2003 to 2013.

The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.

Additional Notes

The Toyota Matrix front fog light specifications cover the 2003-2013 model years, with two distinct bulb types used across that span: the 9006 for 2003-2008 and the H11 for 2009-2013.
Both the H11 and 9006 are single-filament halogen bulbs rated at 12V and 55W, meaning they draw identical power and produce comparable light output despite belonging to different standards bodies.
The H11 follows the ECE standard, which governs lighting regulations across Europe and much of the world, and carries a PGJ19-2 base. It also holds approval for use in the United States.
The 9006 follows the ANSI standard, the regulatory framework used in the United States and Canada, and uses a P22d base. The base type differs from the H11, making the two bulbs physically non-interchangeable despite their matching voltage and wattage ratings.
The Toyota Matrix (2009-2013) requires the H11 bulb for the front fog light position, while the 2003-2008 model years require the 9006. Installing the wrong base type in either application is not possible without modification, as the locking tab and socket geometry of the PGJ19-2 and P22d bases are distinct.
The shift from the 9006 to the H11 between the 2008 and 2009 model years reflects a change in the fog light housing design, since the two bulb families use incompatible sockets and cannot be substituted for one another.
