Toyota RAV4 Parking Light Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The Toyota RAV4 front parking light specifications cover model years 1996 through 2024, with seven distinct bulb sizes appearing across that span: 168, 7444NA, 2357NA, 7443NA, 7443, 1034NA, and 1157.
• The 7443 and its NA-suffix variants are the most frequently specified bulb type across the RAV4 lineup. All share a T20 dual-filament wedge form factor rated at 12V and 21W/5W, making them electrically identical despite the suffix differences.
• The "NA" suffix on bulbs such as the 7443NA, 7444NA, and 1034NA denotes natural amber glass, which produces an amber output without a separate colored lens. The non-NA counterpart, the 7443, produces white light and was specified on the RAV4 for model years 2006-2011.
• The 7443NA and 7444NA share the same T20 wedge base, voltage, and wattage ratings (12V, 21W/5W). Their differing ANSI numbers reflect a separate product classification rather than a difference in electrical or physical characteristics, which has direct implications for interchangeability.
• The 2357NA uses a BAY15d bayonet base rather than a wedge base, making it physically incompatible with T20 wedge sockets. On the Toyota RAV4, this bulb is specified for the 2017-2018 model years in one data set and for 2023-2024 in another, alongside separate 7444NA entries for those same years, indicating two distinct socket positions within the front parking light assembly.
• The 1034NA is described as a variant of the 1157 and shares the same BAY15d bayonet base. Both are dual-filament bulbs rated at 12V, though the 1034NA is rated at 21W/5W while the 1157 is rated at 21W/5W as well. The 1034NA was specified for the RAV4 for model years 1998-2000, and the 1157 for 1996-1997.
• The 168 is a single-filament miniature wedge bulb (T10) rated at 12V and 4.9W, which is substantially lower in wattage than every other bulb type in these specifications. It is specified for the RAV4 for model years 2001-2005 and again for 2022-2024 in one of the two front parking light positions.
• For the 2019 RAV4, the 7444NA is specified specifically for vehicles equipped with Multi LED Headlamps, while the 2018 and 2017 entries for the same bulb are conditioned on Halogen Capsule Headlamps. This indicates that headlamp type is a required factor when selecting the correct parking light bulb for those model years.
• The 2016 RAV4 specifies the 7443NA rather than the 7444NA that appears in adjacent years, and this entry is conditioned on Halogen Capsule Headlamps. Although the two bulbs share the same T20 form factor and wattage, their different ANSI classifications mean they are not catalogued as direct substitutes.
• For the 2023-2024 RAV4, two separate bulb sizes are listed for the front parking light: the 168 and the 2357NA. These represent two electrically and physically distinct sockets within the same assembly, and substituting one for the other is not supported by the specifications.
