Honda Crosstour high beam headlight bulbs use 9005 size while low beam headlight bulbs use H11 size. The replacement chart covers 2012 to 2015 vehicle production years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Honda Crosstour uses the 9005 bulb for the high beam headlight and the H11 bulb for the low beam headlight across the 2012-2015 model years.
The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V and 65W, built to the ANSI standard used in the United States and Canada, and it uses a P20d base.
The H11 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V and 55W, built to the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide, and it uses a PGJ19-2 base.
Although the H11 originates from the ECE standard, it carries approval for use in the United States as well, making it compatible with North American market vehicles such as the Honda Crosstour.
The 9005 and H11 bulbs use different base types, the P20d and PGJ19-2 respectively, meaning the two bulbs are not physically interchangeable with each other.
The higher wattage of the 9005 at 65W compared to the H11 at 55W reflects the greater light output typically associated with high beam applications.
Both bulbs operate on a standard 12V automotive electrical system, consistent with conventional passenger vehicle electrical architecture.
The single-filament design of both the 9005 and H11 means each bulb serves only one lighting function, which is why the Crosstour requires separate bulbs for high and low beam operation.
