For most 2016 Honda Accord models, the low-beam headlights use H11 bulbs and the high-beam headlights use 9005 bulbs; fog lights (if equipped) typically use H11 as well. Exact sizes can vary by trim level and regional market, so always double-check with the owner's manual or the bulb label on the headlight housing.
In practice, the bulb sizes depend on the lighting configuration your Accord came with. This article outlines the most common sizes and how to verify them for your specific vehicle.
Headlights and Fog Lights
The following list covers the primary forward-facing lighting bulbs you’re most likely to encounter on a 2016 Accord. Note that some trims or markets may differ, especially regarding fog lights and HID/LED options.
- Low-beam headlights: H11
- High-beam headlights: 9005
- Fog lights (if equipped): H11
In summary, if your Accord has standard halogen headlights, expect H11 for the low beams, 9005 for the high beams, and H11 for fog lights where fitted. Always confirm with the vehicle’s manual or a hands-on check of the bulb housing label.
Exterior Signal and Marker Lights
Turn signals and parking/marker lights can vary by region and trim, but the following sizes are commonly used on many 2016 Accords. If your car differs, consult the owner’s manual or inspect the socket labeling.
- Front turn signals: 7440
- Rear turn signals: 7443
- Parking/side marker lights: 194 or W5W wedge bulbs (size can vary by market)
These sizes cover the most frequently encountered exterior signal and marker bulbs for the 2016 Accord. If you’re replacing bulbs yourself, use the socket or label as the final guide, since regional specifications may differ.
How to confirm the exact bulb size
To be absolutely certain, check one of these reliable sources: the owner’s manual for your exact trim, a label on the headlight or taillight assembly, or the Honda parts diagram for your vehicle’s VIN. If you’re unsure, a quick visit to a dealership or a trusted repair shop can confirm the precise sizes for your car.
Summary
The 2016 Honda Accord commonly uses H11 bulbs for low-beam headlights, 9005 bulbs for high beams, and H11 for fog lights when equipped. Front turn signals typically use 7440, rear turn signals use 7443, and parking/marker lights are usually 194 or W5W wedges, though exact sizes can vary by trim and market. Always verify with the manual or the bulb label to ensure accuracy for your specific vehicle.
