LED headlights are not universal in the 2019 Highlander. The base L and LE trims use halogen headlights, while higher trims—XLE, Limited, and Platinum—offer LED headlights, with some configurations including auto high beams. Availability can vary by market and optional packages, so check the specific vehicle's window sticker.
Headlight configurations by trim
The following breakdown reflects typical U.S. market configurations for the 2019 Highlander, noting that options can differ by region and year-to-year changes.
- L: Halogen headlights (base model).
- LE: Halogen headlights (entry level).
- XLE: LED projector headlights with auto high beams (upgraded from halogen).
- Limited: LED headlights with auto high beams.
- Platinum: LED headlights (full LED system, often with adaptive/auto features depending on package).
In practice, this means you should expect halogen headlights on the two lower trims and LED-based headlights on the upper trims, with auto high-beam features typically available on the LED-equipped models. Always verify on the specific vehicle's window sticker or with the dealer, as packages can differ by region.
Notes for buyers
When shopping, look for terms like LED headlights, LED projector headlights, and auto high beams in the vehicle's specifications. If you are seeing a used 2019 Highlander listing, confirm the trim level and whether the LED headlights were included as part of a lighting or premium package. This helps ensure you get the lighting setup you expect.
Summary
Summary: The 2019 Highlander does not have LED headlights across all trims. LED headlights are available on higher trims (XLE, Limited, Platinum) in the U.S. market, while base L and LE use halogens. Verification via window sticker is recommended to confirm the exact configuration for any individual vehicle.
