The Mazda CX-5 headlight bulb sizes include 9005 and D4S for high beam applications, along with H11 and D4S options for low beam, with each bulb size corresponding to specific headlight configurations. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years from 2013 to 2016 and documents the bulb specifications for this model range.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Mazda CX-5 headlight specifications cover model years 2013-2016 and reference two distinct headlamp system types: halogen capsule headlamps and HID (high-intensity discharge) headlamps. The correct bulb size depends entirely on which system a given vehicle is equipped with.
The 9005 is an ANSI-standard single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 65W, fitted with a P20d base. It serves as the high beam bulb in CX-5 models equipped with halogen capsule headlamps across the 2013-2016 model years.
The H11 is an ECE-standard single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 55W, fitted with a PGJ19-2 base. It functions as the low beam bulb in halogen-equipped CX-5 models for the same 2013-2016 span. Unlike the 9005, the H11 holds approval under both ECE and US regulatory frameworks.
The D4S is a mercury-free HID xenon discharge bulb operating at 42V and 35W, fitted with a P32d-5 base. It is governed by the ECE standard and is designed specifically for projector-type housings. On the CX-5, it covers both high beam and low beam positions in HID-equipped trims for model years 2013-2015.
A single D4S bulb type handles both high beam and low beam functions in HID-equipped CX-5 models, which is characteristic of bi-xenon projector systems where one bulb per housing serves dual beam roles through a mechanical or optical switching mechanism.
The 9005 and H11 are not interchangeable with each other. They differ in base type, wattage, and beam function, and their respective housings are keyed to accept only the correct base configuration.
The D4S operates at 42V, which is substantially higher than the 12V supply used by the halogen bulbs in the same specifications. This voltage difference means HID and halogen components belong to entirely separate electrical systems and are not cross-compatible.
The 2016 model year data in these specifications references only halogen capsule headlamps. No HID fitment is listed for that year, whereas 2013-2015 models carried both halogen and HID options.
Because the CX-5 offered both halogen and HID configurations within the same model year for 2013-2015, confirming the installed headlamp system type before sourcing a replacement bulb is a necessary step to avoid an incorrect fitment.
