What size headlight bulb for 2013 Honda Accord?

The most common replacement sizes for a 2013 Honda Accord are H11 for the low beams and 9005 for the high beams if your car uses halogen headlights. If your Accord uses factory HID headlights, the bulb types differ (typically D2S or D3S for the low beam), and the high beam is often a separate 9005 halogen bulb or another xenon bulb depending on the system. Always verify by checking the owner’s manual or inspecting the current bulb in your headlight.

Halogen headlights on the 2013 Accord

When your car is equipped with halogen headlights, replacement bulbs follow a standard set of sizes.

• Low beam: H11


• High beam: 9005 (HB3)

Market variations can apply, so confirm the exact bulb on your vehicle if you’re not sure.

HID headlights (factory xenon) on the 2013 Accord

For models with factory HID headlights, the bulbs are different and depend on the specific HID system installed by Honda.

• Low beam: D2S or D3S (depends on the ballast/assembly)


• High beam: often a separate 9005 halogen bulb in many HID setups; some configurations use a xenon high-beam bulb. Verify with the service manual or by checking the existing bulb.

Because HID systems vary by production run and trim, confirming the exact bulb type from the owner’s manual or by inspecting the current bulb is the safest approach.

What to do if you’re unsure

If you’re unsure whether your 2013 Accord has halogen or HID headlights, use these checks:

• Inspect the headlight housing for the bulb type marking (for example, H11, D2S, or D3S).


• Consult the owner’s manual under Lighting or Bulbs.


• Ask a Honda dealership or a qualified mechanic with your VIN at hand.

Having the right bulb type on hand helps you avoid multiple trips to the store and ensures proper fitment and beam pattern.

Summary

For most 2013 Honda Accords with halogen headlights, plan on replacing low beams with H11 and high beams with 9005. If your car uses factory HID headlights, the low beams are typically D2S or D3S, with high beams often using a 9005 halogen bulb or a separate xenon bulb depending on the exact system. Always verify against your owner’s manual or the current bulb to ensure you buy the correct part.
