2017 Nissan Altima Headlight Bulb Size
Approaching the end of the fifth generation, the 2017 Nissan Altima added the blacked-out Midnight Edition package and continued to deliver the fuel-efficient commuter experience the nameplate is known for. The 2017 Nissan Altima headlight bulb size is H11 for the low beams, 9005 for the high beams, and H11 for the fog lights. Installing 2017 Nissan Altima LED headlights transforms the front end and puts noticeably more light on the road, whether you are driving the base model or the Midnight Edition.
LED headlights are especially striking on the Midnight Edition, where white LED output contrasts sharply against the all-black trim. Even on standard trims, the jump from warm yellow halogen to clean white LED makes a dramatic visual and functional difference.
Best Headlight Upgrade for the 2017 Nissan Altima
LED conversion kits are the go-to choice for 2017 Altima owners. The H11 LED bulb matches the factory socket exactly, so the entire swap is true plug-and-play. You get instant-on 6000K output, minimal heat generation, and a lifespan measured in tens of thousands of hours. Most owners complete both headlights in under 30 minutes with nothing more than their hands.
For drivers who prioritize sheer light volume over simplicity, an HID xenon kit pushes more lumens per bulb. Each side requires a ballast, which adds installation time but unlocks a dense, far-reaching beam. HID is a strong pick for owners who frequently drive dark rural highways.
Every kit from HID Nation ships free and comes with a lifetime warranty. If a component ever fails, we send a replacement at no charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What headlight bulb size does the 2017 Nissan Altima take?
The 2017 Nissan Altima uses H11 for the low beam, 9005 for the high beam, and H11 for the fog lights. This applies across all trims, including the 2.5 S, 2.5 SV, 2.5 SL, 2.5 SR, 3.5 SL, and the Midnight Edition.
Do the 2017 Altima Midnight Edition headlights use different bulbs?
No. The Midnight Edition uses the same H11 low beam and 9005 high beam bulbs as every other 2017 Altima trim. The Midnight Edition changes are cosmetic, like dark chrome accents and black wheels, but the headlight hardware is identical. LED upgrades work the same way on the Midnight Edition as on the standard model.
Will LED headlights interfere with my 2017 Altima's forward-facing camera?
LED headlight bulbs do not interfere with the forward-facing camera used for features like automatic emergency braking. The camera reads objects in the road independent of your headlight bulb type. Swapping to LED does not affect any Nissan Intelligent Mobility safety features.
Are the fog light bulbs the same size as the low beam on the 2017 Altima?
Yes. Both the low beams and the fog lights use H11 bulbs on the 2017 Altima. This makes it convenient to order one bulb size for both positions. Upgrading both to LED at the same time creates a uniform white look across the entire front end of the car.
Is an LED headlight upgrade worth it on a 2017 Altima with high mileage?
Absolutely. Many 2017 Altimas are well past 100,000 miles and still going strong. LED headlights improve safety at night and cost less to operate over time than repeatedly replacing halogen bulbs. With HID Nation's lifetime warranty, you will never need to buy another set of headlight bulbs for this car.
