This model belongs to the mid years of the Esteem's 1995-2002 production span.

Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2000 Suzuki Esteem?

Upgrading to LED is one of the most effective ways to modernize your Suzuki's appearance and safety profile. Since your Esteem uses a single 9003 LED bulb for both high and low beams, ensure your chosen LED kit is "dual-beam" compatible. This allows the LED circuitry to mimic the two-filament design of the original halogen bulb. Don't forget the LED Fog Light fog lights; switching these to LED can dramatically improve your visibility in adverse weather.
