Most 2014 Honda Accords with standard halogen headlights use an H11 low-beam bulb and a 9005 high-beam bulb. Trims equipped with HID projector headlights use HID bulbs (D2S or D3S) under ballast instead of halogen bulbs, and fog lights (if present) typically use H11. Always verify the exact bulb type for your specific model and trim before replacing.
Halogen headlights: standard on most trims
If your Accord uses traditional halogen headlights, the following bulb sizes typically apply for the main headlights.
- Low beam: H11
- High beam: 9005 (HB3)
- Fog lights: usually H11, when the vehicle is equipped with fog lamps
Note: Variations can occur by region or production date. Always confirm by checking the current bulb or the owner's manual before purchasing replacements.
HID Bi-Xenon headlights: available on higher trims
On higher-trim models with HID projector headlights, the system uses HID bulbs under a ballast rather than halogen bulbs. The exact bulb type depends on the ballast and headlight assembly.
- Bulbs: D2S or D3S HID bulbs for the low-beam projector (the specific type depends on the factory ballast)
- High-beam: typically shares the HID setup on Bi-Xenon systems, not a separate halogen bulb
To confirm the precise bulb type for your car, check the headlight housing label, consult the owner's manual, or inspect the bulb itself for markings.
How to verify and replace
If you’re unsure which system your vehicle has, start by inspecting the headlight housing or consulting the manual. If you have access to the current bulb, read the markings on the base to determine the exact model. When replacing, buy bulbs that match the identified type and handle them carefully to avoid oil contamination on halogen bulbs.
Summary
The 2014 Honda Accord’s headlight bulb type varies by trim: halogen models typically use H11 low beams and 9005 high beams (with H11 for fog lights if equipped), while higher-trim models with HID headlights use D2S or D3S bulbs under ballast. Always verify your exact bulb type via the owner’s manual or by inspecting the existing bulb.
