Hyundai Tiburon Headlight Bulb Size

The Hyundai Tiburon high beam headlight uses H7, H1, or 9005 bulb sizes, while the low beam headlight requires H11, H7, or 9006 bulb sizes depending on model generation. The replacement chart covers 1997 through 2008 model years with corresponding bulb size specifications for each production period.

The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.

Additional Notes

The H7 bulb is the most frequently specified type across the Hyundai Tiburon headlight data, appearing in both high beam and low beam positions across the 2003-2008 model years, as well as in the low beam position for the 2000-2001 model years. It follows the ECE standard and carries a PX26d base, operating at 12V and 55W on a single filament.
The H11 and H7 bulbs share the same 12V/55W electrical rating but are not interchangeable. The H11 uses a PGJ19-2 base, while the H7 uses a PX26d base. On the Tiburon, the low beam position shifted from H7 to H11 between the 2006 and 2007 model years, making base type a critical fitment consideration for those years.
The 9005 and 9006 bulbs follow the ANSI standard, which originates in the US and Canada, in contrast to the ECE standard used by the H-series bulbs. Both are single-filament halogen types operating at 12V, though the 9005 runs at 65W while the 9006 runs at 55W, reflecting their respective roles in high beam and low beam positions on the 1997-1999 Tiburon.
The 9005 and 9006 bulbs use different base types, P20d and P22d respectively, and are not interchangeable despite their similar appearance and shared ANSI origin. The Tiburon used the 9005 for high beam and the 9006 for low beam across the 1997-1999 model years.
The H1 bulb, specified for the high beam position on the 2000-2001 Tiburon, uses a P14.5s base, which is a single-pin design distinct from the bases found on all other bulb types in these specifications. It operates at 12V and 55W under the ECE standard.
The high beam position on the Hyundai Tiburon used three different bulb types across its production span: the 9005 for 1997-1999, the H1 for 2000-2001, and the H7 for 2003-2008. Each change involved a different base type, meaning bulbs from one generation are not physically compatible with another.
All H-series bulbs in these specifications, including the H7, H1, and H11, carry approval for use in both ECE-regulated markets and the US, while the 9005 and 9006 are designated under the ANSI standard applicable to the US and Canada.
