The low-beam bulb is typically H11, the high-beam bulb is 9005, and the fog lights use H11 on most 2017 Outlander models with halogen headlights. If your Outlander is equipped with HID headlights, the bulbs are D2S or D3S with a ballast, rather than standard H-bulbs.
Halogen headlight configuration (most common)
Typical bulb sizes by function
For owners with the standard halogen setup, these are the common bulb sizes you will encounter in the headlight assembly.
- Low beam: H11
- High beam: 9005
- Fog lights: H11
In practice, this halogen configuration covers the majority of 2017 Outlanders that don’t have HID or LED headlights.
HID and LED headlight options (alternative configurations)
Bulb types when HID/LED are installed
For models with HID or LED headlamps, bulb replacement involves different parts and may vary by market or trim level. The following outlines the common scenarios:
- HID low beam: D2S or D3S with a ballast (depends on the exact system fitted to your vehicle)
- High beam: often a separate halogen bulb (commonly 9005) in many HID-equipped Outlanders, but some trims may use HID for both high and low beams; verify with manual or inspection
- LED headlights: no replaceable bulb in most configurations; entire headlight module or assembly replacement may be required
Because HID/LED configurations can vary by trim, market, and production year, it’s best to confirm the exact bulb type for your specific vehicle using the owner's manual, the Void/trim-specific service guide, or a quick check of the headlight ballast label.
What to do if you’re unsure
Verify the exact bulb type by checking your vehicle’s manual, the headlight housing label, or consulting a Mitsubishi dealership or an experienced automotive professional. If you have access to the original packaging or the old bulb, the part number printed on the base will confirm the correct size.
Summary
For most 2017 Outlanders with halogen headlights, plan for H11 low beams, 9005 high beams, and H11 fog lights. If your model uses HID headlights, expect D2S or D3S low beams with a ballast, and a high beam configuration that may differ (often 9005, but confirm for your trim). LED variants generally do not use replaceable bulbs. Always verify against your owner’s manual or by checking the actual headlight system on your vehicle.
