## 2020-2025 Nissan Sentra headlight bulbs: common questions

### What headlight bulb does a 2020-2025 Nissan Sentra use?

H11 55W (S/SV halogen 'Type A' headlights); SR and 2024+ LED headlights are sealed units with no replaceable bulb for the low beam and H9 65W (halogen headlights) 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 2020-2025 Nissan Sentra take?

LED (SR, where equipped; dealer-serviced).

### Can you put LED bulbs in a 2020-2025 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.
