Full specifications by generation

The headlight bulbs on a Honda Accord is set by its generation, not its model year, so each generation has one page carrying the complete figures, part numbers and fitment notes for every year it covers.

Honda Accord headlight bulbs: common questions

What headlight bulb does a Honda Accord use?

LED (all trims; sealed unit, no user-replaceable bulb) for the low beam and LED (all trims) 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 Honda Accord take?

LED (where equipped).

Can you put LED bulbs in a 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.
