For most 2013 Nissan Rogue models with standard halogen headlights, the low beams use H11 bulbs and the high beams use 9005 bulbs.
Headlight bulb configurations can vary by trim level and market, and some Rogue models may have HID or LED headlights or fog lights with different bulb types. This article explains the typical setup and how to verify the exact bulb types for your vehicle.
Standard halogen headlight configuration
Below is the typical bulb pairing for the Rogue's headlights when it ships with halogen lighting.
- Low beam: H11
- High beam: 9005 (HB3)
These bulbs are widely used in North American Rogue models from that year and provide a balance of availability and performance when replacing halogen headlights.
What to do if your Rogue has different headlights
Some 2013 Rogues may be equipped with HID or LED headlights or different regional configurations. If your vehicle does not use H11/9005, confirm the exact bulb type before purchasing replacements.
- Check the owner's manual or the headlight assembly for the exact bulb specification.
- Inspect the existing bulb directly by removing the headlight bulb cap and reading the bulb markings.
- Contact a Nissan dealer or use Nissan's parts lookup by VIN to verify fitment.
Additionally, many Rogue models include separate bulbs for fog lights (often H11 or H16, depending on trim), or may have variations by region. If you need to replace fog lights, verify that bulb type as well.
How to verify quickly
To be certain you buy the correct bulbs, follow these steps within minutes:
- Turn off the car and open the hood; locate the headlight bulbs behind the corresponding capped housing.
- Remove the cap and read the bulb's markings (e.g., H11, 9005).
- Match the printed type to a new bulb from a trusted retailer.
If the markings are unclear, refer to the owner's manual or consult a dealer; mismatched bulbs can affect beam pattern and safety.
Summary
The 2013 Nissan Rogue typically uses H11 low-beam and 9005 high-beam halogen bulbs. If your model has HID/LED headlights or regional variations, verify the exact bulb type via the manual, the existing bulb, or Nissan's parts lookup. Replacing the correct bulbs ensures proper beam performance and road safety.
