The Kia Telluride high beam and low beam headlight both use a 9005 bulb size for replacement. The chart covers 2021 to 2022 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.
The 9005 is the bulb type specified for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions on the Kia Telluride for the 2021-2022 model years.
The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb, meaning it contains one tungsten filament and is designed to serve only one lighting function per socket rather than switching between two output levels.
The 9005 operates at 12 volts and draws 65 watts, which are standard electrical ratings for halogen headlight bulbs in passenger vehicles.
The 9005 uses a P20d base, which is the physical connector type that locks the bulb into the headlight housing. This base type is not universally shared across all headlight bulbs, making base compatibility a relevant factor when substituting bulbs.
The 9005 conforms to ANSI standards as recognized in the United States and Canada, indicating it meets the photometric and dimensional requirements defined by that regulatory framework.
Because the Kia Telluride uses the same 9005 bulb for both the high beam and low beam positions in the 2021-2022 model years, each headlight housing requires two separate 9005 bulbs to serve the two distinct beam functions.
The 9005 is sometimes cross-referenced with the HB3 designation in international markets, though the ANSI classification applies specifically to North American standards as noted in the specification.
