What type of headlight bulb are in 2014 F150?

Most 2014 Ford F-150 models use halogen headlights with separate low- and high-beam bulbs; specifically, the standard setup uses low-beam H11 and high-beam 9005 bulbs. Some trims offered factory HID (xenon) headlights, which use xenon bulbs in the D1S, D2S, or D3S families depending on the production date and option package.


The exact bulb type for a given vehicle depends on trim and options. If unsure, check the owner's manual, the bulb markings, or the ballast label inside the headlight housing to confirm the correct replacement bulbs.


Halogen headlight configuration


The following describes the common halogen configuration used on 2014 F-150 models that came with standard headlights.



  • Low beam bulb: H11

  • High beam bulb: 9005 (HB3)


Halogen headlight bulbs are widely available at auto parts stores, and many owners choose to replace bulbs in pairs to maintain even brightness and color consistency.


Factory HID headlight configuration


For models equipped with factory HID headlights, the lighting system uses xenon bulbs paired with a ballast. The exact bulb type can vary by production date and trim; common families include D1S, D2S, or D3S.



  • Xenon HID bulb families: D1S, D2S, or D3S (the specific type depends on the unit)


Because HID systems rely on a ballast and specialized bulbs, replacement requires matching the correct HID bulb family and may necessitate re-checking wiring/ballast if brightness or color is off.


Summary


In brief, the 2014 F-150 could have either standard halogen headlights (low beam H11, high beam 9005) or factory HID headlights (xenon bulbs in the D1S/D2S/D3S family, with the exact type varying by trim and production date). To be sure, consult the owner's manual, inspect the bulb/ballast labeling, or verify with a parts diagram for your specific vehicle.
