The 2015 Honda Accord uses two main headlight configurations depending on trim: base models rely on halogen projector headlights, while higher trims use xenon HID headlights. Fog lights are usually halogen in all trims. Always verify the correct bulb type for your specific car by consulting the owner's manual or the original bulb label.
Headlight configurations by trim
In the U.S. market, 2015 Accords generally follow this split. The following list describes the typical bulb configurations by trim level. If your car has a different package or region, verify before replacing bulbs.
- LX and EX: Halogen projector headlights with separate low- and high-beam bulbs. Typical sizes (subject to variation): low-beam H11, high-beam 9005. Fog lights usually use H11 bulbs as well.
- EX-L Navi and Touring: HID (xenon) headlights with ballast rather than halogen. In these trims, the low/high beam are HID; the exact bulb type depends on the market (commonly D2S or D3S in U.S.-spec cars). Fog lights typically stay halogen, often H11.
Conclusion: If you need to replace bulbs, confirm the exact bulb type on the existing bulb or in the service manual, since regional differences and option packages can change sizes.
Replacement considerations
Halogen headlights are typically easier and cheaper to replace yourself, while HID headlights involve ballast and wiring and may require professional service for proper alignment. If upgrading to aftermarket bulbs, choose options that match the car’s beam pattern and wattage to avoid glare. LEDs are possible in some cases, but installation may require housing changes and must comply with local regulations.
How to identify your exact bulb size
Check the owner’s manual, consult the Honda service diagrams for your VIN, or physically remove the bulb to read the stamped size on the base. If unsure, contact a Honda dealer or a qualified automotive technician for confirmation before purchasing bulbs.
Summary
The 2015 Honda Accord largely split into halogen projector headlights for base LX/EX trims and HID headlights for EX-L Navi and Touring trims, with fog lights generally using halogen bulbs. Common sizes include H11 for low-beam halogen, 9005 for high-beam halogen, and D2S/D3S for HID systems on higher trims, though exact sizes can vary by region and package. Always verify your specific vehicle’s bulb requirements to ensure proper fit and performance.
