| Position | Bulb type |
|---|---|
| Low beam | LED (all trims; sealed projector unit, no user-replaceable bulb) |
| High beam | LED (all trims) |

2023–2025 Honda Pilot headlight bulbs: common questions
What headlight bulb does a 2023–2025 Honda Pilot use?
- LED (all trims; sealed projector 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.
Can you put LED bulbs in a 2023–2025 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.
