What Lighting System Does the 2020 Honda Passport Have?

The 2020 Honda Passport features a standard lighting system with 2 bulb positions. It uses factory LED technology with integrated LED headlight modules. The Passport has been available from 1994 to 2023, and the 2020 model falls in the late-generation years.

Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2020 Honda Passport?

To upgrade the 2020 Honda Passport headlights to LED, you will need a LED Headlights LED kit for the low beams and a 9005 LED LED kit for the high beams. Start with the low beams since they are used most often and have the biggest impact on nighttime visibility.

How to Replace Bulbs on a 2020 Honda Passport

To remove the headlight bulb, disconnect the wiring harness, then twist the bulb counter-clockwise and pull it straight out of the housing. On the 2020 Passport, you will likely encounter rubber dust covers behind the headlight housing. These pull off by hand or unscrew depending on the design. Allow about 15 to 20 minutes per side. This vehicle has factory-integrated LED headlight modules. These are not user-serviceable bulbs. If your LED headlights fail, the entire headlight assembly or LED module may need to be replaced by a dealer or qualified technician.

How Long Do 2020 Honda Passport Headlight Bulbs Last?

Factory LED headlights on the 2020 Honda Passport are rated for approximately 25,000 to 50,000 hours of use, which translates to roughly 10 to 15 years of normal driving. LED modules rarely burn out suddenly. Instead, they gradually dim over time or develop dead zones within the LED array. At 6 years old, the original bulbs on your Passport are likely overdue for replacement, though LED modules may still have life left. Even if they still illuminate, reduced brightness significantly impacts nighttime safety. When one headlight burns out, replace both sides at the same time. Bulbs from the same batch age at similar rates, and mismatched brightness is distracting to oncoming drivers.

What Bulbs Are Compatible with the 2020 Honda Passport?

For the high beams, the 9005 is interchangeable with HB3. Using the wrong bulb size can cause improper beam patterns that reduce your visibility and blind other drivers. It can also cause overheating inside the headlight housing, potentially warping the plastic lens or reflector. Always verify the bulb number before purchasing.

2020 Honda Passport Headlight FAQ

The 2020 Honda Passport uses a LED Headlights bulb for the low beam headlights. We recommend upgrading to LED for better visibility.

The high beam bulb size for the 2020 Honda Passport is 9005 LED.

The 2020 Honda Passport uses a dual bulb headlight system. This means you have separate bulbs for high and low beams.

Yes, the 2020 Honda Passport comes with standard halogen bulbs from the factory, but they can be upgraded to LED. You will need a LED Headlights LED conversion kit for the low beams.

Turn off the vehicle and open the hood. Locate the headlight assembly from behind, remove the dust cover or retaining clip, disconnect the wiring harness, twist the old LED Headlights bulb counter-clockwise to remove it, then insert the new bulb and reassemble. The whole process typically takes 10 to 30 minutes per side depending on accessibility.

LED bulbs used off-road or in auxiliary lights are legal everywhere. For on-road headlight use, legality varies by state. Many states allow LED retrofits as long as the beam pattern meets DOT standards. For the best legal compliance, choose a DOT-approved LED Headlights LED kit that is designed as a direct replacement and produces a proper cutoff pattern without excessive glare.

A pair of halogen LED Headlights bulbs costs $15 to $40, while LED conversion kits run $25 to $60 per pair. If you have a shop do the work, expect an additional $20 to $50 in labor per bulb. Replacing them yourself at home saves the labor cost and usually takes under 30 minutes.

Halogen bulbs produce a warm yellow light (around 3200K), last 500 to 1000 hours, and draw more power. LED bulbs emit a brighter white light (5000-6000K), last 25,000+ hours, and use less energy. LED upgrades for the LED Headlights position are available as direct plug-and-play replacements.

Did Honda Passport Bulb Sizes Change Over the Years?

Over its production run from 1994 to 2023, the Honda Passport has seen bulb size changes in the Low Beam and High Beam positions. The 2020 model uses the newer bulb specification introduced around 2019. Always verify the exact bulb size for your specific 2020 model year using the chart above, as using the wrong size can result in poor fitment or reduced light output.
