What size headlight is a 2015 CR-Z headlight?

The headlight setup on the 2015 Honda CR‑Z isn’t described by a single, universal “bulb size.” The car uses a projector-style headlamp assembly whose bulb configuration varies by market and trim. In many regions, the low beams are HID with a ballast (bulbs such as D2S or D2R), while the high beams, if present, are a separate bulb (commonly 9005). For an exact replacement, verify the bulb type for your specific vehicle.

Headlight configuration of the 2015 CR‑Z

The 2015 CR‑Z was produced with a rectangular, projector-style headlight assembly in most markets. The low‑beam lighting arrangement often relies on HID technology with an electronic ballast, though some regional trims used halogen low beams instead. Because the headlight unit is a composite assembly, the “size” isn’t a simple standard like a round 6.5-inch or 7-inch bulb; you’re selecting either a bulb type or an entire headlamp housing depending on your needs. Always confirm the exact specification for your VIN and market to ensure proper fitment and performance.

To identify the exact bulb or assembly you need, use these checks:

• Consult the owner’s manual for bulb specifications and replacement procedures for your market and trim level.


• Inspect the headlight bulb/socket area to read markings on the bulb itself (for example, H11, D2S, D2R, or others).


• Look for a label on the back of the headlight or inside the engine bay that lists the part number or bulb type.


• Use your VIN to pull the exact OEM part information from Honda’s parts catalog or via a dealer, since regional variations exist.


• If you’re replacing the entire assembly, order the OEM headlamp unit that matches your VIN and market.

These steps help ensure you purchase the correct bulb type or headlight assembly for your 2015 CR‑Z, avoiding fitment issues or electrical problems.

Common configurations by market

Configuration varies by region, so it’s important to confirm what your specific vehicle uses. Broadly speaking:

• North America: projector-style headlights with HID low beams (commonly D2S or D2R) and a separate high‑beam bulb (often 9005) in many trims.


• Other markets: some models may use halogen low beams (such as H11) with a separate high beam, or HID/HID configurations depending on the exact specification for that market.

Because lighting setups can differ, always verify with official diagrams or a parts specialist for your exact car.

How to verify the exact replacement

1. Decide whether you need a bulb replacement or a full headlight assembly.


2. Check the owner’s manual or an official Honda parts diagram for your trim and market to locate the correct part number.


3. If replacing a bulb, read the bulb markings on the lamp you remove to confirm the type (for HID, you’ll typically see D2S/D2R; for halogen, you’ll see H11 or another designation).


4. Provide your VIN when ordering to ensure you get the correct regional variant.


5. When in doubt, consult a qualified technician or authorized Honda dealer to verify fitment and avoid electrical or alignment issues.

Once you have the right bulb type or assembly, follow manufacturer instructions for installation, bulb alignment, and headlamp aim to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Buying tips and installation notes

Replacing a headlight on a 2015 CR‑Z can involve handling HID components or the headlamp housing. If you’re unsure about HID ballasts, electrical compatibility, or headlamp alignment, professional installation is advised. Always use OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts that specify compatibility with your market and year to maintain lighting performance and warranty coverage.

In summary, the 2015 CR‑Z does not have a single universal bulb size. Confirm the exact bulb type or headlamp assembly for your market and VIN, and rely on official diagrams or a trusted parts specialist to ensure a proper, safe replacement.

Summary: The correct “size” for a 2015 CR‑Z headlight depends on the market and trim. Most versions use HID low beams with ballast (D2S/D2R) and a separate high beam (often 9005), but some regions may use halogen low beams (like H11). Verify with the owner’s manual, VIN, or dealer to obtain the exact part number and replacement procedure.

How do I know what size my headlights are?

Every headlight is designated with a bulb size. For a bulb installed in your car, you can find the number stamped or printed on the side of the bulb. It's also listed in the service manual and in an auto bulb guide. Only the correct bulb size will fit in the headlamp housing and connect to the factory wiring.

What size headlight is a 2015 CRZ headlight?

Specific Application: Suitable for Honda CR-Z models from 2011 to 2016, providing a combination of 9005/HB3 high beam and H11 low beam bulbs.

Do I need H11 or 9005?

H11 bulbs are designed for use as low beam headlights, while 9005 bulbs are typically used for high beams. This results in a higher brightness level for the 9005 bulbs compared to the H11 bulbs.
