Does the Honda Pilot have LED headlights?
Yes. In the current Honda Pilot lineup, LED headlights are standard or available on higher trims, while the base LX typically uses halogen headlights.
What counts as LED headlights?
LED headlights use light-emitting diodes for the main beam, offering brighter, whiter light, faster response, and longer life than traditional halogen bulbs. Many Pilots also feature LED daytime running lights as part of the headlamp assembly, while higher trims may add auto high-beam or adaptive features.
Headlight configurations by trim (current generation)
Below is a typical layout for the latest generation Pilot (model years around 2020–present). Exact specs can vary by year and market, so check the spec sheet for the exact vehicle.
- LX — Halogen projector headlights (with LED daytime running lights)
- EX — LED projector headlights with auto high-beam assist
- EX-L — LED projector headlights with auto high-beam assist
- Touring — LED projector headlights with auto high-beam assist
- Elite — LED projector headlights (full LED headlamps, with enhanced lighting features in some markets)
Markets and model-year refreshes can change availability. For precise confirmation, review the vehicle’s official spec sheet or ask the dealer.
What to consider when shopping for LED headlights
Consider whether you want auto high-beam, adaptive lighting, or just LED main beams. Expect higher trim levels to offer more advanced lighting tech, and verify with the dealer if you want LED headlights specifically on a used Pilot.
Summary
In short, LED headlights are commonly found on the Honda Pilot’s higher trims in the latest generations, while the base LX usually uses halogen headlights. Always verify the exact configuration for the model year and trim you’re considering, as specs can vary by year and market.
