2012–2013 Nissan Rogue Headlight and Bulb Sizes

Which Nissan Rogue model years does this cover?

These headlight bulbs specifications apply to every Nissan Rogue built from 2012 through 2013 — the S35 (1st generation), compact crossover suv. 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 changed during the 2012–2013 Nissan Rogue

• 2012Carryover year; trim ladder simplified to S, SV, and SV with SL package
• 2013Final year of regular first-generation sales; Special Edition package added
• 2014–2015Sold alongside the new T32 as the budget 'Rogue Select', S trim only, 16-in steel wheels (215/70R16), same QR25DE/CVT powertrain. All S35 parts data on this page applies to Rogue Select.

What headlight bulb does a 2012–2013 Nissan Rogue use?

H11 (halogen) 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 2012–2013 Nissan Rogue take?

H11 (where equipped; some guides list H8. Check the old bulb).

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2012–2013 Nissan Rogue?

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.
