Hyundai Veloster Headlight Bulb Size

Hyundai Veloster headlight bulbs use 9005 and H7 sizes for high beam applications, while low beam configurations require H7 and H11B bulb sizes. The replacement chart covers 2012 through 2021 model 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.

Additional Notes

The H7 bulb is the most frequently specified type across the Hyundai Veloster headlight data, appearing in both high beam and low beam positions across multiple model years. It follows the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide, operates at 12V and 55W, and uses a PX26d base. It holds approval in the US and Japan as well.
The 9005 bulb follows the ANSI standard used in the US and Canada. It is a single-filament halogen type rated at 12V and 65W, drawing 10 more watts than the H7 and H11B types also listed in these specifications. It uses a P20d base.
The H11B bulb shares the same 12V, 55W rating as the H7 but is not interchangeable with it. The H11B uses an asymmetric PGJY19-2 base, which physically prevents it from being seated in a socket designed for the PX26d base found on H7 bulbs.
The Hyundai Veloster (2012-2017) low beam position requires either an H11B or an H7 depending on headlamp type. Projector-type headlamps take the H11B, while non-projector headlamps take the H7. Substituting one for the other is not supported by these specifications.
For the 2019-2021 Veloster, the high beam position uses the 9005 bulb. The 2020 entry notes this applies specifically to vehicles with projector headlamps, and the low beam for those same years uses the H7.
The high beam position on the 2012-2017 Veloster is specified as H7 across all listed years, regardless of whether the vehicle has projector-type headlamps. This contrasts with the low beam position for those same years, where headlamp type determines the correct bulb.
The H11B base is described as asymmetric, meaning its orientation during installation is fixed. This is a distinguishing physical characteristic compared to the more commonly encountered symmetrical bases used on H7 and 9005 bulbs.
Both the H7 and H11B operate under the ECE regulatory framework, though the H11B's asymmetric base design makes it a distinct and non-interchangeable variant within that family of bulbs.
The 9005 and H7 bulbs differ in wattage despite both being single-filament halogen types. The 9005 at 65W produces a higher power draw than the H7 at 55W, which is consistent with its use in the high beam position on 2019-2021 Veloster models.
The 2018 model year does not appear in these specifications for either the high beam or low beam positions of the Hyundai Veloster.
