2013–2017 Honda Accord headlight bulbs: common questions

What headlight bulb does a 2013–2017 Honda Accord use?

H11 halogen (full-LED headlights on Touring and 2016–2017 upper trims, no user-replaceable bulb there) 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 2013–2017 Honda Accord take?

H8 (2013–2015, where equipped); LED fog lights on 2016–2017.

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2013–2017 Honda Accord?

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.
