Hi, I recently broke one of my headlights on my SUV listed above limited, and I’m looking to get it replaced but I’m not sure what bulb is best to get . There are so many types, such as Halogen or LED, but I want to get one that will fit the wiring of the car headlight . Any recommendations?

Good morning,

Get the halogen headlights. They are bright and a direct fit for your truck with no modifications. They are nice and bright.

I suggest replacing both headlights as well.

Hello,

Your vehicle has halogen bulbs installed in it and that is the type of headlamp bulbs that must be installed in it unless you want to install LED lamps that will require the headlamps to be rewired with extra components installed to make them run. In the diagrams down below I have included the Original Equipment Manufacturer [OEM] part number for the halogen headlamp bulb for cross reference. I have also included the instructions for the removal and installation of the headlamp bulb in your vehicle from the vehicle manufacturer as well. Please go through these guides and get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex
