The 2016 Freightliner Coronado uses an H13 halogen bulb (H9003) in the main headlight assembly. Upgrading to a JW Speaker LED headlight is possible but requires attention to wiring, fitment, and a few additional considerations depending on your conditions and preferences.
Main headlight upgrade
Wiring The factory headlight uses an H13 plug. To retrofit a JW Speaker LED headlight without cutting any wiring, you will need a retrofit harness that converts the H13 plug to an H4 plug. This harness is available through authorized JW Speaker distributors including High Performance Lighting (highperformancelighting.ca).
Fitment The JW Speaker Model 8700 7" Round LED Headlamp is a compatible upgrade for the Coronado. Note that when retrofitting, there may be a slight gap between the chrome bezel and the headlight housing compared to the original halogen fitment.
For a tighter, more complete fit, High Performance Lighting offers a retrofit kit specifically for the Freightliner Coronado that includes the wiring harnesses and is designed to minimize any fitment gap. This is the recommended option for the best finished appearance.
Winter driving recommendation If the vehicle operates in snow or ice conditions, choose a JW Speaker LED headlight with a heated lens. The heated lens melts ice and snow buildup on the lens face, maintaining full light output in winter weather.
DRL (daytime running light)
The factory DRL bulbs on the 2016 Coronado are 3157NA (Amber). JW Speaker does not manufacture a replacement for this bulb. Standard LED replacements for the 3157NA socket are widely available at most automotive parts retailers.
Fog lights
Fog light fitment varies depending on the specific Coronado configuration. Visit highperformancelighting.ca to find the correct shape and size fog light for your truck.
