Ford Escape Headlight Bulb Size

Additional Notes

• The 9008 bulb, used in the Ford Escape for both high and low beam functions from 2008-2012, is a dual-filament halogen type operating at 12V with a 65W/55W rating and a P26t base. Its dual-filament design allows a single bulb to serve both beam positions within one housing.
• The 9003 bulb, fitted to the 2001-2004 Escape for both high and low beams, is also a dual-filament halogen bulb with a P43t base, rated at 12V and 60W/55W. Like the 9008, it consolidates both beam functions into one unit.
• From 2005-2007, the Escape transitioned away from dual-filament bulbs, with the high beam using an H7 and the low beam using an H11. Both are single-filament ECE-standard halogens, meaning each beam position requires a separate, dedicated bulb.
• The H9 bulb is the most frequently specified bulb across the low beam entries for the 2019-2023 Escape, and also serves as the high beam in certain 2019-2023 configurations. It operates at 12V and 65W with a PGJ19-5 base under ECE standards.
• The D3S is an HID (xenon) discharge bulb rated at 42V and 35W, with an integral ignitor and a PK32d-5 base. Its specification for the 2018-2019 Escape is restricted to vehicles equipped with projector-type headlamp housings, as HID discharge bulbs require that specific optical system to control light distribution safely.
• For the 2018 Escape with HID headlamps, the D3S covers the low beam function while the H1 is listed separately for the same HID headlamp configuration. The H1 is a single-filament halogen bulb with a P14.5s base, rated at 12V and 55W.
• The 9005 bulb is a single-filament halogen type with a P20d base, rated at 12V and 65W under ANSI standards. It serves as the high beam bulb for the 2020-2023 Escape with halogen headlamps, and also appears as the low beam for the 2018 Escape with projector headlamps.
• Several bulb types in these specifications carry both ECE and ANSI-region approvals. The H9, H11, H7, and H1 are all ECE-standard bulbs that are also approved for use in the United States, making them compatible with North American market vehicles such as those in this fitment list.
• The 2018 and 2019 Ford Escape present multiple fitment conditions within a single model year, with bulb selection depending on whether the vehicle has HID headlamps, projector headlamps, or neither. Substituting bulbs without confirming the specific headlamp system installed on a given vehicle risks an incorrect fitment.
• The H11 bulb uses a PGJ19-2 base, while the H9 uses a PGJ19-5 base. Although both share the same general PGJ19 base family and physical housing outline, the differing tab positions mean the two bulbs are not interchangeable, despite appearing in related positions across different model years of the Escape.
