Hyundai Kona Electric headlight bulbs use 9005 and H7 sizes for both high and low beam applications. The replacement bulb size chart covers 2019 to 2022 production years.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Hyundai Kona Electric uses two distinct high beam and low beam bulb types across its model years: the 9005 for 2022 and the H7 for 2019-2021.
In the 2022 Kona Electric, both the high beam and low beam positions share the 9005 bulb, a single-filament halogen type operating at 12V and 65W with a P20d base.
The 9005 is governed by ANSI standards, making it the format used in the United States and Canada.
The H7 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 12V and 55W with a PX26d base, governed by ECE standards with approval also extended to the US and Japan.
The 9005 and H7 carry different base types, P20d and PX26d respectively, meaning the two bulbs are not interchangeable despite both being single-filament halogen types rated at 12V.
The 9005 draws 65W while the H7 draws 55W, a difference that reflects the distinct electrical load each places on a vehicle's wiring and fuse configuration.
For the 2019-2020 Kona Electric, the H7 fitment for both high and low beam positions is conditional on the vehicle being equipped with halogen capsule headlamps.
The 2021 Kona Electric also uses the H7 for both beam positions, though without the halogen capsule headlamp qualifier noted in the 2019-2020 entries.
The shift from H7 to 9005 between the 2021 and 2022 model years represents a change in both the base type and the wattage rating across all headlight positions.
