## 2013-2019 Ford Escape headlight bulbs: common questions

### What headlight bulb does a 2013-2019 Ford Escape use?

H11 halogen (S/SE/SEL); D3S HID on Titanium 2013-2016 for the low beam and 9005 (HB3) for the high beam. Trims with factory LED or HID projectors use a sealed assembly instead and are not bulb-serviceable.

### What fog light bulb does a 2013-2019 Ford Escape take?

H11 (2013-2016 where equipped).

### Can you put LED bulbs in a 2013-2019 Ford Escape?

Physically, yes, LED replacements exist in every common base. Whether they work well depends on the housing: a reflector housing designed around a halogen filament scatters LED output into oncoming traffic instead of down the road. Projector housings tolerate the swap far better. Some vehicles also flag the lower current draw as a bulb-out fault.
