Nissan Kicks headlight bulbs include 9005 and H9 sizes for high beam applications, H11 for low beam, and 9005 for left headlight positions. The replacement bulb chart covers 2018 through 2024 model years with corresponding specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Nissan Kicks headlight specifications reference three bulb types across its model years: 9005, H9, and H11. All three are single-filament halogen bulbs operating on a 12V system, though they differ in wattage, base type, and regulatory standard.
The 9005 and H9 bulbs are both rated at 65W and serve the high beam function, while the H11 is rated at 55W and serves the low beam function. The lower wattage of the H11 is consistent with its role in providing a wider, closer-range light pattern rather than long-distance illumination.
The 9005 follows the ANSI standard used in the United States and Canada, while the H9 follows the ECE standard used in Europe and internationally. Despite this difference, the H9 carries US approval as well, meaning both bulbs are legally usable in North American vehicles.
Although the 9005 and H9 share the same 65W rating and both serve as high beam bulbs in the Nissan Kicks, they use different base types. The 9005 uses a P20d base, and the H9 uses a PGJ19-5 base. These bases are not interchangeable, and substituting one bulb for the other without an adapter is not possible.
The H11 uses a PGJ19-2 base, which is distinct from both the P20d and PGJ19-5 bases found on the high beam bulbs. This makes the H11 physically incompatible with the high beam socket positions in the Nissan Kicks.
The high beam position in the Nissan Kicks (2018-2020) uses the H9 bulb, while the 2023 model year shifted to the 9005 for the same high beam position. This represents a change in bulb standard between those model years.
The low beam position across the 2018-2020 Nissan Kicks specifies the H11 with the condition of halogen capsule headlamps, indicating that this bulb size applies specifically to vehicles equipped with that headlamp configuration rather than all trim levels or headlamp types.
The Left Headlight sub-part lists the 9005 bulb for the 2023-2024 model years. This is a position-specific designation separate from the general High Beam Headlight listing, suggesting the left headlight assembly is catalogued independently for those years.
