In North American 2014 Ford Focus models, the low-beam headlamps typically use H11 bulbs and the high beams use 9005 bulbs; fog lights, if equipped, commonly use the same H11 size. Always verify with the owner's manual or by inspecting the bulb in your specific vehicle, as bulb configurations can vary by market and trim.

The sizes above cover the majority of US-spec and many international variants, but confirming your exact setup is important.
How to confirm the exact bulb for your car
Since headlight configurations can differ by market and trim, use these steps to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle:
- Consult the owner's manual section dedicated to the headlighting system for the precise bulb specification.
- Remove the headlight dust cover and inspect the bulb in the housing to read the base type or part number.
- If you don’t have the manual, contact a Ford dealer or use your vehicle’s VIN to confirm the bulb type for your exact model year and trim.
- Consider replacing bulbs in pairs to maintain consistent light output and beam pattern, if both sides are due for replacement.
Verifying the exact bulb ensures proper fit, performance, and safety on the road.
Replacement tips
When replacing headlight bulbs, follow these best practices to protect bulbs and optics:
- Allow the engine and headlights to cool before handling bulbs to avoid burns.
- Handle new bulbs with gloves or a clean cloth to prevent oil from your skin reducing bulb life.
- Ensure correct alignment and seating of the bulb to avoid misaligned beams or electrical faults.
Proper technique helps maximize bulb life and maintain proper headlight performance.
Summary
