2013–2019 Nissan Sentra Headlight and Bulb Sizes

Which Nissan Sentra model years does this cover?

These headlight bulbs specifications apply to every Nissan Sentra built from 2013 through 2019 — the B17 (7th generation), compact sedan. 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 2013–2019 Nissan Sentra

• 2013Generation launch, 150 lb lighter than the B16, 1.8L MRA8DE with CVT or 6MT, FE+ aero-economy trims
• 2014Revised CVT calibration, steering, and suspension tuning for a smoother, more responsive drive; powertrain otherwise unchanged
• 2015Chassis retuned again for improved refinement, per Nissan; powertrain carries over unchanged from 2014
• 2016Facelift: new front/rear fascias and lights, available LED low beams (SL), updated steering/suspension tune, added driver-assist options
• 2017SR Turbo (188-hp 1.6L MR16DDT) and NISMO join the lineup; 1.8L re-rated to 124 hp (CVT)
• 2018Automatic Emergency Braking made standard
• 2019Final B17 year; SR Turbo and NISMO's last year, the last factory-hot Sentra to date

What headlight bulb does a 2013–2019 Nissan Sentra use?

H11 (halogen, Type A headlights); SL, SR Turbo and NISMO with LED low-beam projectors have no replaceable low-beam bulb for the low beam and H9 (all headlight types, including LED-low-beam cars) 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 2013–2019 Nissan Sentra take?

H11 (where equipped).

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2013–2019 Nissan Sentra?

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.
