2020 Nissan Altima Headlight Bulb Size
Building on the all-new sixth-generation platform introduced a year earlier, the 2020 Nissan Altima refined the formula with a growing audience for its available AWD and the attention-getting VC-Turbo engine option. The 2020 Nissan Altima headlight bulb size is H11 for the low beams, 9005 for the high beams, and H11 for the fog lights. For owners of the halogen-equipped S trim, 2020 Nissan Altima LED headlights deliver the most noticeable single upgrade you can make to the car's appearance and nighttime performance.
The 2020 Altima's sharp body lines deserve lighting to match. Whether you drive the FWD commuter or the AWD variant popular in snow-belt states, LED headlights put significantly more light on the pavement while drawing less power from the electrical system.
Selecting the Right Headlight Kit for the 2020 Altima
An LED conversion kit is the most straightforward performance upgrade for the 2020 Altima's headlights. The H11 LED bulb seats in the factory socket with a simple twist-and-lock motion, delivering a 6000K daylight-white beam at instant full brightness. LED bulbs generate far less heat than halogen, which keeps the second-year sixth-gen housing lenses clear over time. Both sides are typically finished in about 20 minutes.
HID xenon kits are the alternative for owners chasing maximum down-road illumination. The ballast and bulb pairing produces a concentrated arc with exceptional penetration on unlit roads. Plan on 35 to 45 minutes for the complete install.
HID Nation ships every kit for free and backs it with a lifetime warranty. One purchase covers you for the life of the vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What headlight bulb sizes does the 2020 Nissan Altima use?
The 2020 Nissan Altima takes H11 bulbs in the low beam, 9005 bulbs in the high beam, and H11 bulbs in the fog lights. The halogen-equipped S trim is the primary candidate for aftermarket LED upgrades. Higher trims with factory LED headlights use a non-replaceable integrated LED module for the low beam.
Do the 2020 Altima AWD and FWD models share the same headlight bulbs?
Yes. AWD and FWD versions of the 2020 Altima use identical headlight and fog light bulb sizes. The all-wheel-drive system is a drivetrain component only and does not change any aspect of the lighting system. LED kits fit both configurations without modification.
Will LED headlights affect ProPilot Assist or Safety Shield 360 on the 2020 Altima?
No. ProPilot Assist and Safety Shield 360 use a forward-facing camera and radar sensors that operate independently of your headlight bulb type. Swapping halogen for LED does not interfere with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, or adaptive cruise control.
How do I know if my 2020 Altima has halogen or factory LED headlights?
The simplest way is to check your trim level. The 2020 Altima S comes standard with halogen projector headlights using replaceable H11 bulbs. The SV, SR, SL, and Platinum trims typically include factory LED headlights. You can also look at the headlight housing: halogen models have a visible bulb socket on the back, while factory LED units are sealed.
Can I upgrade the fog lights on my 2020 Altima to match LED headlights?
Absolutely. The 2020 Altima fog lights use H11 bulbs, the same size as the low beams. Swapping in LED fog lights alongside LED headlights produces a clean, uniform white appearance across the entire front of the vehicle. It is an easy add-on that takes just a few extra minutes during the headlight install.
