The Kia Stinger uses 9005 bulbs for both high beam and low beam headlight functions, with both positions requiring the same size. Replacement bulb specifications for the Stinger cover a chart spanning 2018 to 2020 model years.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Kia Stinger uses the 9005 bulb type for both high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 2018-2020 model years, making it the sole bulb type present in these specifications.
The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 65 watts, commonly rated at 12 volts, and seated in an HB3 base configuration.
All 9005 fitments in these specifications are conditional on the vehicle being equipped with Halogen Capsule Headlamps, meaning this bulb size does not apply to Stinger trims fitted with other headlamp technologies.
The shared 9005 size across both the high beam and low beam positions is a notable fitment detail, as many vehicles use distinct bulb types for each function.
Despite occupying both beam positions, the 9005 remains a single-filament bulb, meaning separate physical bulbs are installed for each function rather than a dual-filament unit handling both.
The 9005 bulb is not interchangeable with the similarly sized 9006 (HB4), which uses a different base tab orientation specifically designed to prevent cross-installation between high and low beam sockets.
