Mitsubishi Outlander Sport high beam headlight uses 9005 bulb size while low beam headlight uses H11 or D2S bulb size. Replacement chart covers 2011 through 2019 model years with bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport uses the 9005 bulb for the high beam headlight across all listed model years, spanning 2011-2019. The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb operating at 65 watts, seated in an HB3 base, and is widely used in high beam applications across the automotive industry.
The low beam headlight on the Outlander Sport is not a single-fitment position. Two distinct bulb types are listed depending on the headlamp system installed on the vehicle: H11 for halogen capsule headlamp configurations and D2S for HID headlamp configurations. This split applies uniformly across all listed model years from 2011-2019.
The H11 is a single-filament halogen bulb with a PGJ19-2 base, commonly rated at 55 watts. Its connector and base design are not interchangeable with other H-series bulbs such as the H9 or H8, despite those sharing a physically similar housing.
The D2S is a high-intensity discharge bulb designed for projector-style headlamp housings. It operates through an electrical arc between two electrodes rather than a heated filament, requiring a ballast to regulate the high-voltage ignition and sustained arc current.
Because the Outlander Sport lists both H11 and D2S for the low beam position within the same model years, the correct replacement bulb depends strictly on which headlamp system the specific vehicle was built with. Substituting a halogen bulb into an HID housing, or vice versa, is not a compatible exchange.
The D2S bulb type is specific to HID projector housings and is not a drop-in replacement for reflector-style halogen housings. Installing a D2S bulb in a housing not engineered for HID output produces uncontrolled light scatter that affects road visibility and oncoming traffic.
The 9005 high beam bulb and the H11 low beam bulb are both halogen types, but they serve separate headlamp functions and use different base configurations. The 9005 uses an HB3 base while the H11 uses a PGJ19-2 base, making them physically incompatible with each other's sockets.
Across the full 2011-2019 span covered in the specifications, the high beam circuit of the Outlander Sport remained standardized on a single bulb type, while the low beam circuit accommodated two different technologies depending on trim or factory headlamp configuration.
