Jeep Wrangler exterior bulb chart

The manual's Exterior Bulbs table lists these names and numbers. The manual says to see an authorized dealer for LED bulb replacement.

The manual notes that the numbers refer to commercial bulb types that can be purchased from an authorized dealer, and that if a bulb needs to be replaced, you should visit an authorized dealer or refer to the applicable Service Manual.

From the 2026 Jeep Wrangler owner's manual (Replacement Bulbs, Names, And Part Numbers), read November 8, 2026.

Replacing a halogen headlamp bulb

For the halogen (H13) headlamps, the manual's steps are:

1. Open the hood and support it using the prop rod.
2. Remove the front grille: remove the retainers along the top of the grille and remove it.
3. Pull the bottom of the grille away, starting at one side and working toward the other.
4. Remove the three fasteners holding the headlamp to the vehicle.
5. Remove the lamp from the vehicle.
6. Remove the lamp from the collar.
7. Grab the bulb and rotate it a quarter turn counterclockwise.
8. Pull the bulb from the housing.
9. Push the connector locking tab to the unlock position.
10. Remove the connector from the bulb.
11. Push the connector onto the new bulb base, and push the connector locking tab to the lock position.
12. Reinstall the bulb housing, rotating the bulb a quarter turn clockwise.

From the 2026 Jeep Wrangler owner's manual (Bulb Replacement: Halogen Headlamps), read November 8, 2026. The manual cautions not to touch the new bulb with your fingers, because oil contamination will severely shorten bulb life; if the bulb touches an oily surface, clean it with rubbing alcohol.

Front park/turn signal and fog lamp bulbs

Front park/turn signal: remove the front wheel liner fasteners to access the bulb sockets. Turn the socket assembly a quarter turn counterclockwise and remove it from the housing, then pull the bulb straight from the socket to replace it.

Halogen front fog lamp: reach under the vehicle to the back of the front fog lamp and disconnect the wire harness connector. Firmly grab the bulb by its two latch features and squeeze them together to unlock it from the back of the housing, then pull the bulb straight out of the keyed opening and connect the replacement bulb.

If your Wrangler has LED fog lamps, the manual says they are replaced as an assembly. The LED front side marker is also replaced as an assembly, after removing the wheel liner fasteners and the fastening screw behind the marker.

Rear tail, stop, turn and backup bulbs, and the third brake light

For the rear tail, stop, turn signal and backup lamp, the manual's steps are:

1. Remove the interior trim panel cap to access the single retaining screw for the tail lamp assembly.
2. Remove the retaining screw and disconnect the electrical connector, then remove the tail lamp assembly from the vehicle. If necessary, push in on the assembly tab located inboard behind the lamp housing.
3. Remove the three screws from the assembly bracket to access the bulb sockets.
4. Rotate the appropriate socket a quarter turn counterclockwise, then remove it from the housing.
5. Pull the bulb straight from the socket to replace it.

From the 2026 Jeep Wrangler owner's manual (Rear Tail, Stop, Turn Signal, And Backup Lamp; Center High Mounted Stop Lamp; License Plate Lamps), read November 8, 2026. The center high mounted stop lamp sits on a bracket on the swing gate behind the spare tire; it is an LED assembly obtained from an authorized dealer, and the LED license plate lamps are replaced by a dealer.

Wrangler headlight switch, high beams and fog lights

The headlight switch is on the left side of the instrument panel and controls the headlights, parking lights, automatic headlights (if equipped), instrument panel lights, interior lights and fog lights (if equipped). Rotate it clockwise to the first detent for the parking lights and instrument panel lights, and to the second detent for the headlights. For automatic headlights (if equipped), rotate it clockwise to the last detent; the engine must be running, and the headlights stay on for up to 90 seconds after the ignition is placed in the OFF position.

To turn on the front fog lights (if equipped), turn on the parking lights or low beam headlights and push the fog light switch; push it again to turn them off.

Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel for high beams. Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control (if equipped) uses a camera mounted on the vehicle's header; the manual says it can be turned on or off by selecting ON under Auto High Beam in Uconnect Settings, as well as by turning the headlight switch to AUTO and placing the multifunction lever in the high beam position.

The Wrangler has plastic headlights and fog lights. The manual's Cleaning Headlights section says plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass, so avoid wiping the lenses with a dry cloth, remove road dirt with a mild soap solution followed by rinsing, and do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel wool or other aggressive material to clean them.
