What bulb does a Honda City 2006 take?

The Honda City from 2006 typically uses a dual‑filament halogen headlight bulb, most commonly an H4 (HB2) 60/55W. In some markets this same bulb is labeled as 9003. Always verify the exact specification for your car by checking the owner’s manual or inspecting the installed bulb.


Headlight bulb type for the 2006 Honda City


The list below highlights the most common configurations you might encounter, depending on regional trim and production specifics.



  • H4 (HB2) 60/55W dual‑beam bulb — the standard for many 2003–2008 City models and widely used across Asian and Middle Eastern markets.

  • 9003 — a naming variant used in some regions for the same dual‑filament H4‑style bulb.

  • H7 — in a minority of export trims, the City used separate low- and high-beam bulbs; confirm by inspecting the current headlight bulb or your owner’s manual.


In short, most 2006 Honda City models use an H4‑family dual‑beam bulb, with 9003 as an alternate naming convention in some markets. If your car has a different configuration, consult the manual or a parts professional to confirm before buying replacements.


How to confirm the exact bulb in your car


Before purchasing a replacement, use these steps to identify the correct bulb type for your vehicle.



  • Open the hood and locate the headlight assembly; remove the bulb or inspect the bulb for markings on its base or glass that indicate the type (for example: H4, 9003, HB2, etc.).

  • Check the owner’s manual or the workshop manual for the standard headlamp specification for your exact trim and market.

  • Compare the current bulb with a replacement in-store or use the VIN to pull the official parts list from a Honda dealer or parts catalog.

  • If in doubt, ask a Honda service center or a reputable auto-parts store to match the bulb by base and wattage.


Confirming the precise bulb this way helps ensure compatibility and optimal lighting performance.


Additional lighting bulbs (fog lights and indicators)


Bulbs for fog lights, turn signals, and other exterior lamps vary by trim level and market. Always check the manual or inspect the current bulbs to identify the correct type before purchasing replacements.


Summary


For the 2006 Honda City, the typical headlight bulb is H4/HB2 dual‑filament around 60/55W, with 9003 used as an alternate market designation in some regions. Always verify with the owner’s manual or by inspecting the existing bulb, since trims and regions can differ. Fog lights and other exterior bulbs will have their own specifications based on market and trim, so check each lamp individually before replacement.

Is 9005 or 9006 the low beam?


9005 (HB3) is for high beams, 9006 (HB4) is for low beams/fog. Their bases and locking tabs differ, so they're not cross-compatible.



Are H7 and H11 bulbs the same?


No, H7 and H11 bulbs are not the same and cannot be used interchangeably because they have different base designs, socket types, and dimensions. The primary differences are their base configuration and the type of application they are designed for; H7 bulbs are often used for both low and high beams, while H11 bulbs are typically for low beams or fog lights.
