The Toyota Venza brake light requires a 7443 bulb size for proper installation and function within the rear lighting assembly. Data for the specified component covers the range from 2009 through 2012.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 7443 bulb is the sole brake bulb type specified across all listed years of the Toyota Venza, covering both the standard brake and outer brake positions for the 2009-2012 model years.
The 7443 is an ANSI-standardized bulb used in the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts with a dual-filament configuration rated at 21 watts and 5 watts respectively.
The dual-filament design of the 7443 allows it to serve two brightness levels within a single bulb, with the higher 21W filament typically handling the brake function and the lower 5W filament handling a secondary function such as running or tail light duty.
The 7443 belongs to the T20 wedge bulb family, a form factor defined by its wedge-shaped base, which seats directly into a socket without a separate metal base or pins.
For the Toyota Venza outer brake position, the 2012 model year carries a production date qualifier, with the 7443 specification applying to vehicles produced from May 2012 onward.
The 2009 outer brake position similarly carries a production date qualifier, with the 7443 specification applying to vehicles produced from November 2008 onward.
The T20 wedge family includes both single-filament and dual-filament variants, and substituting a single-filament T20 bulb such as the 7440 in place of the dual-filament 7443 would result in the loss of one lighting function at that position.
