The 2019 Nissan Sentra typically uses H11 bulbs for the low beams and 9005 (HB3) bulbs for the high beams. If your trim includes fog lights, those usually use H11 as well. LED headlights are not standard on this year, so if your car has LED headlights, the bulb type note would not apply. Always confirm with the owner's manual or a VIN-based parts lookup for your exact trim and market.
Bulbs by function
Below is a quick reference for the bulbs used by headlight function on most 2019 Sentra models. Variations by trim level or market can occur, so verify with the manual or dealership if unsure.
- Low beam — H11 (55W). Replacements are usually accessible from the engine bay; some trims require removing components to reach the bulb.
- High beam — 9005 (HB3, ~65W). Typically accessed from the engine bay by twisting the bulb out of its socket.
- Fog lights — commonly H11 (varies by market/trim). Some trims use different bulbs, so check the manual if your Sentra has fog lights installed.
Note: Always verify the exact bulb type for your vehicle’s trim and market, as there can be variations.
Replacement tips
When replacing bulbs, wear gloves or use a clean cloth to avoid transferring oils to the glass. Ensure the headlights are off and cool, and follow the vehicle’s manual steps for safely accessing and removing the bulbs. If you’re unsure about the process, consulting a professional is advisable.
Summary
For a 2019 Nissan Sentra, plan to use H11 for the low beams and 9005 (HB3) for the high beams, with fog lights typically using H11 depending on trim. Always double-check your specific trim and market with the owner’s manual or a VIN-based parts lookup to avoid any confusion.
