Most 2019 Hyundai Kona models with halogen headlights use H11 bulbs for the low beams and 9005 bulbs for the high beams; models with LED or HID headlights may not use replaceable bulbs in the same way. Always verify your exact trim and market in the owner’s manual or on the vehicle placard to be sure.
Halogen headlights: common in base trims
A practical breakdown for owners still relying on traditional halogen headlamps.
- Low beam: H11
- High beam: 9005 (HB3)
- Fog lights: H11
Halogen setups allow individual bulb replacements, so you can swap in standard or performance bulbs as needed. Confirm the exact sizes for your vehicle configuration, since regional variations can occur.
LED and HID headlight configurations: what changes
Some Kona models—particularly higher trims or different markets—use LED or HID headlights, which changes how you service them.
- LED headlights: typically use a non-replaceable LED module rather than a simple bulb. If service is needed, the entire headlight assembly or module may be replaced.
- HID headlights (if applicable): may use HID bulbs with a separate ballast. Replacement often requires specific bulbs and ballast and is usually handled by a dealer or qualified technician.
Because configurations vary by market and trim, check the owner's manual or contact Hyundai support to confirm whether your Kona’s headlights use replaceable bulbs or entire assemblies.
How to confirm your exact bulb type
Use these quick checks to verify the correct bulb for your Kona 2019.
- Consult the owner’s manual or the label on the driver’s door jamb for the bulb specification.
- Inspect the headlight housing to determine whether a simple bulb twist-and-lock is used or if an integrated LED module is present.
- Ask a Hyundai dealer or a trusted mechanic with your VIN handy to confirm the exact bulb type for your vehicle’s trim and market.
Confirmation ensures you purchase the correct bulbs and avoid mismatches or potential electrical issues.
Summary
For 2019 Hyundai Kona models with halogen headlights, expect H11 for low beams, 9005 for high beams, and H11 for fog lights. If your Kona uses LED or HID headlights, the replacement approach differs and may involve swapping a headlight module or entire assembly rather than a single bulb. Always verify with the official manual or dealer to ensure you use the correct configuration for your specific trim and market.
