What headlight bulb do I need for a 2014 Honda Accord?

Most 2014 Honda Accords with halogen headlights use H11 for the low beam and 9005 for the high beam. If your car is equipped with HID headlights, the low-beam bulb is typically D2S or D3S depending on the ballast, with the high beam usually a 9005 halogen bulb. Always verify with your owner's manual or by checking the labeling on the back of the headlight housing.

In this article we detail how to determine your exact bulb type based on trim and headlight system, and provide guidance on what to buy and how to replace them safely.

Halogen headlights: what you’ll likely need

Below are the typical bulb types for the common halogen setup found on many 2014 Accord trims (LX, EX, and some EX-L configurations). Use the list that matches your headlight configuration.

• Low beam: H11


• High beam: 9005 (HB3)

These bulbs are generally 12V, ~55W replacements, and you’ll want to choose the same configuration (either standard replacement or a high-performance/hyper-white variant) to maintain proper beam pattern and longevity. Always confirm by checking the bulb base at the back of your headlight or consulting the owner’s manual.

HID headlights: what you’ll likely need

For 2014 Accords equipped with HID (high-intensity discharge) headlights, the low-beam bulbs are typically D2S or D3S, depending on the specific ballast installed in your vehicle. The high beam is most often a standard 9005 halogen bulb, though some configurations may differ. Verify the exact bulb type before purchasing because ballast compatibility matters as well.

• Low beam: D2S or D3S (depends on ballast)


• High beam: typically 9005 halogen, but some setups may use HID for high beams as well

When replacing HID bulbs, it’s important to handle bulbs with clean hands, avoid touching the glass, and ensure the ballast and wiring are compatible with the new bulb type. If you’re unsure, consult a professional or reference the owner’s manual for the exact part numbers configured for your vehicle’s trim.

How to confirm your bulb type

To avoid buying the wrong bulb, use these quick checks:

• Inspect the back of the headlight housing for a label indicating bulb type (for example, H11, 9005, D2S, or D3S).


• Check the owner’s manual or the Honda parts catalog for the exact bulb specification by trim level and year.


• Remove the existing bulb carefully to read the base and socket arrangement, matching it to a known replacement.

If in doubt, bring the old bulb or a clear photo of the bulb base to an auto parts store, where staff can help verify compatibility. Some 2014 Accords may also differ if they were equipped with aftermarket or dealer-installed headlight upgrades.

Summary

For most 2014 Honda Accords with halogen headlights, you’ll need H11 for the low beam and 9005 for the high beam. If your Accord has HID headlights, the low beam uses D2S or D3S bulbs depending on the ballast, while the high beam is usually 9005. Always confirm with the owner’s manual or by inspecting the headlight housing to ensure the correct bulb type and to avoid mismatches.
