The typical 2003 Honda Accord in North America uses 9006 for the low-beam headlights and 9005 for the high-beam headlights. If your car has factory fog lights, those usually use H11 bulbs. Some non‑US or special-market versions can differ, so verify with the owner's manual or by inspecting the headlight assembly.
Bulb sizes for the main headlights
The following list covers the most common configuration for 2003 Accords sold in the United States and Canada. It helps you identify the two primary headlights you’ll replace during routine maintenance.
- Low-beam headlight bulb: 9006
- High-beam headlight bulb: 9005
When replacing, ensure you select halogen bulbs of the correct size. If you’re upgrading to a higher color temperature or considering LEDs, verify compatibility with your headlight housing and local regulations.
Fog lights (if your model has them)
Some 2003 Accord trims include factory fog lights. If yours does, they typically use H11 bulbs.
Always double-check by removing the old bulb and matching the connector base, or by checking the vehicle’s VIN against a parts catalog, since regional variations can occur.
Additional considerations
To avoid surprises, confirm the exact bulb types for your specific car variant. The best sources are the owner's manual, the service/parts catalog linked to your VIN, or a trusted parts retailer. Availability and pricing can vary by brand and by revision of the headlamp assembly.
Summary
For the 2003 Honda Accord, the standard headlight bulbs are 9006 for low beam and 9005 for high beam. Fog lights (if equipped) use H11. Variations may occur by market or trim, so verify with your manual or a reputable parts source before purchasing bulbs.
