The Kia Niro high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both use a 9005 bulb size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 2017 to 2024.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The 9005 is the sole bulb type specified across all high beam and low beam headlight positions for the Kia Niro from 2017 through 2024.
The 9005 is an ANSI-standard single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12 volts and 65 watts, fitted with a P20d base, and recognized across the United States and Canada.
A single-filament design means the 9005 serves one lighting function per bulb, which is why the Kia Niro requires separate bulbs for its high beam and low beam positions despite both positions using the same part number.
The P20d base is a push-and-twist locking mount, a common retention style in halogen headlight assemblies that secures the bulb without a separate retaining ring.
Because both the high beam and low beam positions share the 9005 specification across all model years listed, the same bulb type is interchangeable between those two positions on the Kia Niro.
The 2023-2024 model years carry an explicit "Halogen headlights" qualifier in the specification, indicating that this fitment applies specifically to vehicles equipped with halogen headlight assemblies rather than alternative lighting technologies.
The 2017-2019 model years carry a "With Fog Lamps" qualifier, meaning the 9005 high beam and low beam fitment is associated with trim configurations that include fog lamps on those vehicles.
At 65 watts, the 9005 draws relatively high power compared to lower-wattage halogen alternatives, a factor relevant when considering aftermarket replacement bulbs, as exceeding the original wattage rating can stress the vehicle's wiring and headlight housing.
