2016-2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Sun Visor: Color Matching, Part Numbers, and Replacement
This guide covers the essential details for replacing a sun visor on your 2016-2021 Toyota Land Cruiser, focusing on how to guarantee a perfect color match using your vehicle's trim code.
- The most critical step is to find your interior Trim Code on the driver's door jamb sticker to ensure an exact color match.
- Part numbers are color-specific: suffixes ending in -C0 are Black, -E0 are Beige, and -B0/-B1 are Gray.
- Replacement is a very simple DIY job requiring only a screwdriver and about 15 minutes.
- Unlike older or other Toyota models, widespread sagging issues are not common for the 2016-2021 Land Cruiser visor.
Symptoms of a Failing Sun Visor
Sun visors on the 2016-2021 Land Cruiser (200-Series) are generally durable. Unlike on some other vehicles, widespread issues like sagging or drooping are not common for this model. However, failures can still occur. Here’s what to look for:
- Drooping or Sagging: The most common failure on any vehicle is a worn-out pivot mechanism, causing the visor to hang down and obstruct your view. It will no longer stay flush against the headliner.
- Vanity Light Failure: The light behind the mirror may flicker or fail to turn on. This can be due to a burnt-out bulb, a faulty switch in the mirror cover's hinge, or a problem with the electrical connector.
- Broken Mirror or Cover: The vanity mirror itself can crack from impact, or the plastic cover that slides or flips open can break at its hinge points.
- Loose Pivot Mount: The visor may feel wobbly at its mounting point, even if it isn't drooping. This could indicate loose mounting screws or a cracked internal plastic mount.
Buying a Used 2016-2021 Land Cruiser Sun Visor
A used OEM sun visor is an excellent choice, offering a perfect fit and original factory quality at a lower cost than a new part. Aftermarket options are generally not recommended for this vehicle due to issues with color matching, material quality, and electrical compatibility.
The #1 Priority: Match Your Interior Color Code
Getting the color right is the most critical step. Photos can be deceiving due to lighting. The only way to guarantee a perfect match is by using the Trim Code from your vehicle's identification sticker.
- Locate the Sticker: Open the driver's side door and look for a black sticker on the door pillar (the B-pillar).
- Find the C/TR Code: On the sticker, find the line that starts with "C/TR". This stands for Color/Trim.
- Identify Your Trim Code: The trim code is a four-character code that follows the exterior paint code. For example, it might look like:
C/TR: 1G3/LC22. In this case,LC22is the interior trim code.
Use this code to match with the correct part. The main interior colors for the 2016-2021 Land Cruiser were Black and Terra (a brown/reddish hue), with parts catalogs also listing Gray and Neutral Beige.
| Interior Color | Known Trim Codes |
|---|---|
| Black | TRIM25, TRIM42 |
| Neutral Beige / Terra | TRIM47 |
| Gray | TRIM23, TRIM46 |
Physical Inspection Checklist
When inspecting a used sun visor, check the following:
- Pivot Stiffness: Move the visor up and down. It should move smoothly but have enough resistance to hold any position firmly.
- Mirror and Cover: Open and close the vanity mirror cover several times to ensure the hinge is not broken and that the light switch activates correctly.
- Fabric Condition: Check for stains, tears, or any signs of the fabric bubbling or separating from the inner board.
- Wiring and Connector: Ensure the electrical pigtail and its plastic connector are intact with no cut wires or damage.
Known Issues, Recalls, and Service Bulletins
As of mid-2024, there are no specific recalls or Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) issued by Toyota or the NHTSA for sun visor failures on the 2016-2021 Toyota Land Cruiser. This indicates that visor problems are not a common or systemic issue with this vehicle generation.
Step-by-Step Replacement Guide
Replacing the sun visor is a simple DIY task that typically takes less than 15 minutes.
Tools Needed:
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Small flathead screwdriver or a plastic trim removal tool
Warning: To be safe when working with any electrical component, it's a good practice to disconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle's battery before you begin.
- Remove the Screw Cover: At the base of the visor's pivot point, there is a small plastic cover. Use a small flathead screwdriver or trim tool to gently pry this cover off. It will pop off, revealing two screws.
- Unscrew the Visor: While holding the visor to prevent it from falling, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two mounting screws.
- Disconnect the Electrical Connector: Carefully lower the visor from the headliner. You will see a single electrical wire. Press the small tab on the connector and pull it apart to disconnect the power for the vanity light.
- Install the New Visor: Installation is the reverse of removal. First, connect the electrical plug of the new visor. Then, align the visor's mounting bracket with the screw holes in the roof and secure it with the two Phillips screws.
- Final Touches: Do not overtighten the screws, as you could strip the threads or crack the plastic mount. Once the screws are snug, snap the plastic cover back into place. Reconnect the battery if you disconnected it.
Part Numbers & Compatibility
Part numbers for sun visors are specific to the side (Left/Driver vs. Right/Passenger) and the interior color. The last two characters of the part number often indicate the color.
| Side | Color | Part Number |
|---|---|---|
| Left (Driver) | Black | 74320-60G10-C0 |
| Right (Passenger) | Black | 74310-60L00-C0 |
| Left (Driver) | Neutral Beige | 74320-60G10-E0 |
| Right (Passenger) | Gray | 74310-60L00-B0 |
Pro Tip: Sun visors from the 2008-2021 Lexus LX570 may be physically interchangeable with the Land Cruiser, as they share the same chassis. However, interior colors and fabric textures may not be an exact match. Always verify the part number and color code before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I find my Land Cruiser's interior color code?
Your interior trim code is on the manufacturer's sticker located on the driver's side door jamb. Look for the "C/TR" line; the trim code is the set of characters after the slash, such as 'LC22' or 'TRIM42'.
Are the driver and passenger side sun visors interchangeable?
No, they are not. The mounting points and the vanity mirrors are specific to each side. You must order the correct part for the driver (Left Hand) or passenger (Right Hand) side.
My vanity mirror light doesn't work. Do I need a whole new visor?
Not necessarily. The first step is to check the bulb. If the bulb is good, the problem could be the switch mechanism in the mirror cover hinge or the wiring connector. If the switch is the issue, replacing the entire visor assembly is typically the easiest solution.
Will a sun visor from an older 200-Series Land Cruiser (2008-2015) fit my 2016-2021 model?
While they may appear similar, part numbers for the 2016+ facelift models are different from the earlier 200-series models. To ensure perfect fitment and correct electrical connections, it is best to use a visor specifically listed for the 2016-2021 year range.
