What is a Ford Fusion 2010 headlight bulb size?

In most 2010 Ford Fusions, the low-beam uses an H11bulb and the high-beam uses a 9005 bulb; models with fog lights typically use H11 as well. Verify with your owner's manual or by inspecting the current bulbs to be sure, since trims and aftermarket replacements can change the fit.

Headlight bulb sizes by function

The headlight system in the 2010 Fusion typically splits into three main functions: low beam, high beam, and fog lights (if your car has them). Here are the common sizes used for these functions.

• Low beam: H11 (55W) bulb


• High beam: 9005 (HB3) bulb


• Fog lights: H11 (55W) bulb (if your model is equipped with fog lamps)

Note that some aftermarket replacements or regional variations might use different bulb types. Always confirm by removing the old bulb and reading the size stamped on the base or consulting the vehicle’s manual for your exact VIN.

How to verify the exact bulb size for your Fusion

To ensure you buy the correct bulb, use one of the following verification methods before purchasing replacements.

1. Check the owner's manual section on headlights and bulbs for factory specifications.


2. Inspect the installed bulb in the headlight housing and read the size printed on the bulb base.


3. Contact a Ford dealership or parts retailer with your vehicle’s VIN to confirm the exact bulb size for your car’s configuration.

Handle bulbs with clean, dry hands or gloves to prevent oil transfer, and test the lights after installation to confirm proper operation.

A quick note on trim and market differences

Some regional markets or optional equipment packs may alter bulb configurations, including the use of different high-beam or fog-light bulbs. When in doubt, rely on the VIN-based confirmation from a dealer or the official parts diagram for your exact vehicle.

Conclusion and practical takeaway

For the typical 2010 Ford Fusion, you’ll commonly encounter H11 low beams, 9005 high beams, and H11 fog lights if equipped. Always verify against your specific vehicle to avoid incorrect purchases.

Summary: The Ford Fusion 2010 headlight bulb sizes most often map to H11 for low beams, 9005 for high beams, and H11 for fog lights on models with them. Verification via manual or dealer is recommended to account for trim or regional variations.

Do I need H11 or 9005?

H11 bulbs are designed for use as low beam headlights, while 9005 bulbs are typically used for high beams. This results in a higher brightness level for the 9005 bulbs compared to the H11 bulbs.
