Honda Element Bulb Size Guide by Year & Trim (2003–2011)

Use this Honda Element bulb size guide to find replacement bulb sizes for 2003–2011 Honda Element models. The chart covers headlights, fog and HID applications, front and rear turn signals, brake and tail lights, reverse lights, license plate lights, map and dome lights, side markers, transmission indicator lights, and luggage-compartment lights.

The most important fitment difference is the 2007–2008 Element SC, which uses a different headlight and front turn-signal setup from the LX and EX trims. Several interior-light positions also change for 2007–2008, so use the trim- and year-specific entries in the chart instead of assuming every Element uses the same bulb.

1. Confirm year and trimPay special attention to 2007–2008 SC versus LX / EX fitment.
2. Match the light positionFind the headlight, turn signal, reverse, map, dome, license plate, luggage, or other bulb.
3. Verify the original bulbHID and trim-specific lighting can differ, so compare the installed bulb before purchase.
