# 2021-2025 Ford F-150 Headlight and Bulb Sizes

Headlight bulb types vary by trim on the 2021-2025 Ford F-150. Full bulb chart for every position, plus whether LED replacements fit the factory housings.

## 2021-2025 Ford F-150 bulb chart

| Position | Bulb type |
| --- | --- |
| Low beam | LED on most trims (sealed assembly, no user-replaceable bulb); base XL halogen reflector lamps use H11 |
| High beam | LED where equipped; 9005 on base halogen lamps |
| Fog light | LED on most; H10-family halogen on base. Check trim |
| note | 2022 trucks with high-series LED headlamps had repeated LED-module recalls (22V-686 → 23V-802 → 24C30); module failures are covered, not a DIY bulb job |

Note: Bulb fitments can vary with option packages (halogen vs. LED lighting). Confirm the bulb you are removing matches before ordering.

## Which Ford F-150 model years does this cover?

These headlight bulbs specifications apply to every Ford F-150 built from 2021 through 2025, the 14th generation (2021-2025; 2024 facelift), full-size pickup (aluminum body; hybrid available; lightning ev is a separate model). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years.

## 2021-2025 Ford F-150 headlight bulbs: common questions

### What headlight bulb does a 2021-2025 Ford F-150 use?

LED on most trims (sealed assembly, no user-replaceable bulb); base XL halogen reflector lamps use H11 for the low beam and LED where equipped; 9005 on base halogen lamps 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 2021-2025 Ford F-150 take?

LED on most; H10-family halogen on base. Check trim.

### Can you put LED bulbs in a 2021-2025 Ford F-150?

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.
