In brief, the 2015 Ford Fusion can use either halogen headlights on base trims or HID (xenon) headlights on higher trims, with the exact bulb types depending on the specific configuration of your car.
This article explains the two main headlight configurations you might encounter on a 2015 Fusion, how to identify which one your vehicle has, and the typical bulb sizes used for replacement. Because Ford offered different options by trim and market, it’s important to confirm the exact bulb type for your car via the owner's manual, the door jamb label, or the Ford parts catalog using your VIN.
Headlight configurations by trim
There are two primary headlight setups in the 2015 Fusion, depending on trim level and options.
- Halogen headlamps (base trims such as S and SE): Low beam typically uses an H11 halogen bulb; high beam commonly uses a 9005 (HB3) halogen bulb; fog lights, if equipped, are usually H11 as well.
- HID/xenon headlamps (higher trims such as SEL or Titanium or with the optional HID package): Low beam uses HID xenon with a ballast (bulb types commonly D3S or D2S); high beams may be separate halogen bulbs (often 9005) depending on the exact trim and equipment, though some configurations place high beams in the HID system. Always verify for your specific vehicle.
Concluding note: Because the Fusion’s headlights vary by trim and package, it’s essential to confirm the exact bulb type for your car rather than assuming based on model year alone.
How to identify the exact bulb on your car
Use these steps to confirm the correct replacement bulb for your 2015 Fusion:
• Check the owner’s manual or the window sticker/door jamb label for listed bulb types.
• Inspect the headlight housing; some assemblies have the bulb type stamped on the cap or inside the housing.
• If you’re replacing bulbs yourself, remove the dust cap and read the bulb part number directly from the bulb or ballast housing, then cross-reference with Ford parts or an auto parts retailer using your VIN for accuracy.
Summary
The 2015 Ford Fusion offers two main headlight configurations—halogen for base trims and HID for higher trims or options—so the bulb type you need depends on your specific vehicle configuration. Always verify with the owner’s manual, VIN-based parts lookup, or a parts professional to ensure you purchase the correct bulbs (common examples include H11 for low beams in halogen setups and D3S/D2S for HID low beams, with high-beam details varying by trim).

Do I need H11 or 9005?
