In most 2014 Hyundai Sonata models with standard halogen headlights, the low-beam bulb is H11, the high-beam bulb is 9005, and the fog lights (if equipped) use H11. Always confirm by checking your owner's manual or the bulb label on your vehicle.
Bulb types by function
The following list covers the typical halogen bulb types used for the 2014 Sonata's headlights. If your vehicle has different options, consult the manual or dealer.
- Low beam: H11
- High beam: 9005 (HB3)
- Fog lights: H11 (where equipped)
Because trim levels or optional headlight packages can vary, identical-looking headlights on some cars may use different bulbs. Always verify on the actual vehicle if possible.
Verification and replacement steps
Use these steps to confirm the exact bulb type for your car and perform a safe replacement.
- Consult the owner's manual or the lamp code printed on the bulb or housing to confirm the precise bulb type for your trim.
- Power off the vehicle, open the hood, and access the back of the headlight assembly to locate the bulb socket.
- Remove the bulb carefully and compare it to the listed bulb types (H11, 9005, etc.) or bring the old bulb to an auto parts store for cross-reference.
- Install the replacement bulb, ensuring correct orientation and a snug fit; test the lights before driving.
If your Sonata has HID or LED headlights as an option, the bulb types and replacement process differ and may require ballast or driver components rather than simple halogen bulbs. Check with Hyundai for compatibility with your VIN.
Summary
For the 2014 Hyundai Sonata, the standard halogen configuration uses H11 for low beams, 9005 for high beams, and H11 for fog lights where equipped. Verify the exact configuration on your trim and consult your owner's manual or a dealer if unsure. This ensures correct bulb replacement and optimal visibility.
