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. ## Sources - [2017 Nissan Sentra Owner's Manual (oil, capacities, NS-3, tires, bulbs, CR2025)](https://owners.nissanusa.com/content/techpub/ManualsAndGuides/Sentra/2017/2017-Sentra-owner-manual.pdf) - [2013 Sentra Factory Service Manual, Engine Lubrication (4.0 L with filter)](https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm_download=Sentra/2013/LU.pdf) - [BBB National Programs, Nissan CVT Stringer class action (2013-2017 Sentra, 84 mo/84k)](https://bbbprograms.org/programs/dr/class-action/nissan-cvt) - [Martinez v.
