Most 2015 Murano models with halogen headlights use H11 for low beams and 9005 for high beams. If your vehicle is equipped with HID headlights, the low beams typically use D2S (D1S in some markets) while the high beams remain 9005. Always verify with your owner's manual or by checking the exact trim/market specification for your car.
The 2015 Nissan Murano offered a few different headlight configurations depending on trim and regional market. This article breaks down the common setups and how to confirm the right bulb for your specific vehicle.
Halogen headlight configuration
If your Murano uses standard halogen headlights, here are the typical bulbs you’ll encounter for the primary headlamps.
- Low beam: H11
- High beam: 9005 (HB3)
This halogen setup is common on base and mid-level trims without HID headlights. Replacements should match these bulb types to ensure proper operation and beam focus.
HID headlight configuration (if your Murano has HID headlights)
Some 2015 Murano models were equipped with HID projector headlights. In those configurations, the low-beam bulbs are HID bulbs, and the high beams are typically halogen 9005.
- Low beam: D2S (or D1S in some markets)
- High beam: 9005
HID systems require compatible bulbs and often a ballast. If your car has HID headlights, consult the manual or dealer for exact part numbers and compatibility with aftermarket replacements.
How to confirm your exact bulb type
To ensure you purchase the correct bulb for your particular Murano, follow these steps before buying replacements.
- Check the owner's manual's bulb section or headlight diagrams for your exact trim/market.
- Inspect the bulb in the headlight housing for any markings (bulb type is often printed on the base).
- Contact a Nissan dealer or parts department with your VIN to confirm the precise bulb specification for your vehicle.
Verifying the exact bulb type is important because the specifications can vary by trim level, regional market, and whether HID equipment was installed from the factory.
Summary
In short, a 2015 Nissan Murano’s headlight bulb needs depend on the headlight system installed. Halogen headlights typically use H11 for low beams and 9005 for high beams. If the car has HID headlights, the low beams are D2S (or D1S in some regions) with 9005 for the high beams. Always confirm with the owner's manual or a dealer to ensure you get the correct bulbs for your exact vehicle.
