2016–2022 Honda Pilot Headlight and Bulb Sizes

Which Honda Pilot model years does this cover?

These headlight bulbs specifications apply to every Honda Pilot built from 2016 through 2022 — the 3rd generation (YF5/YF6), 3-row mid-size suv (fwd or i-vtm4 awd). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. Pick your year for the engines it offered, what changed that year, and the problems recorded against it.

What headlight bulb does a 2016–2022 Honda Pilot use?

H11 (halogen, LX/EX/EX-L); full-LED headlights on Touring/Elite for the low beam and 9005 (HB3) on halogen 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 2016–2022 Honda Pilot take?

H11/LED depending on trim.

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2016–2022 Honda Pilot?

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.
