What is the bulb model for the Haval F5 headlights?

[SanPaige]

The bulb model for the Haval F5 headlights is H7. The Haval F5 adopts Haval's new design style, featuring a large-mouth grille with a dot-matrix interior design, paired with willow-leaf-shaped headlight clusters, creating a more sporty effect compared to the H4, making it appear more youthful. Below is relevant information about the Haval F5: 1. As a model targeting the young and fashionable consumer group, the Haval F5 has a significantly different exterior design from the H-series models of the same brand, adopting a design language similar to WEY, with a styling that leans more towards a sporty coupe SUV. 2. The official claim is that there is no hierarchical distinction between the F-series and H-series in terms of positioning. These two series target different markets through distinct exterior and interior design styles. 3. In terms of the powertrain, the Haval F5 is equipped with a 1.5T engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The engine delivers a maximum power of 124kW and a maximum torque of 285Nm, making it the highest among these models. Given the relatively heavy weight of Haval vehicles, this also serves as the foundation for ensuring power.

Attention to all Haval F5 owners! The car comes with factory-fitted halogen headlights, where the low beam uses an H7 55-watt bulb and the high beam uses a 9005 (also known as HB3) 60-watt bulb. Actually, when I changed the bulbs myself, I found the high beam position particularly tricky—if you have large hands, you might need to remove the air filter box to reach in. I recommend buying Osram or Philips bulbs directly; although they are more expensive, they are much brighter than no-name brands, especially for safer nighttime driving. If your car is equipped with optional LED headlights, you cannot replace the bulbs individually—you’ll need to replace the entire headlight assembly. Before buying bulbs, it’s best to check the rear cover of your headlight with a flashlight, as the model number is printed on the sticker.

To put it simply, the bulb models for the Haval F5 are: low beam is H7 halogen, and high beam is 9005. If you want to upgrade, you can choose bulbs with a color temperature of 4300K, which have strong penetration in rainy and foggy conditions. When I helped my neighbor replace them last time, I found that the left headlight is blocked by the coolant reservoir at the back, making the replacement particularly difficult. It's advisable to have an extended socket wrench ready. Also, a reminder: the 2020 high-end model comes with LED headlights from the factory, which don't have replaceable bulbs. If they fail, the entire light assembly needs to be replaced.

As someone who frequents repair shops, I remember clearly that the Haval F5 uses H7 for low beams and 9005 for high beams. When owners change bulbs themselves, nine times out of ten they make two mistakes: first, buying H4 integrated bulbs by mistake, and second, touching the bulb glass directly without gloves, causing it to burn out faster. I recommend using silicone anti-slip gloves for the job—they're much more flexible than regular cotton gloves. When removing the lamp cover, be careful with the clips as they're quite fragile. Start prying from the upper right corner using a plastic pry tool.

Having repaired over a dozen Haval F5s, the bulb configuration is quite consistent: H7 for low beam and 9005 for high beam. However, pay attention to the model year - all 2018 versions come with halogen lights, while some 2020 models use LEDs. For halogen versions, it's recommended to check for bulb blackening every 2 years, especially for those who frequently drive at night. When replacing the high beam bulb yourself, first turn the steering wheel all the way to the right to create more wheel arch space for easier operation. The bulb socket has a foolproof design - you'll hear a click when it's properly installed.
