2017 Genesis G80 Headlight Bulb Size
The 2017 Genesis G80 uses a single D1S bi-xenon bulb per side, serving both low and high beam.
Key takeaways
- Low beam: D1S. High beam: D1S.
- The D1S low beam is HID (xenon), not halogen - it runs through a ballast at high voltage, so it is a replaceable bulb but not a casual swap.
- Fog, signal, and reverse bulbs use different sizes - check each before buying.

- LED
- Front turn signal
- 2357A
- Brake / tail

Where to buy bulbs for the 2017 Genesis G80
Headlight bulbs dim over time, so replace them in pairs even if only one has failed. HID bulbs run through a ballast at high voltage, so this is a replaceable bulb but not a casual swap - disconnect the battery first. To order the exact sizes online:

What to buy
This vehicle uses a single D1S bi-xenon bulb per side, serving both low and high beam. There is no second bulb and no second filament - an HID bulb is an arc tube, not a filament, and the projector switches between beams with a mechanical shield that moves out of the light path. So one pair of D1S covers both beams. Replace them in pairs regardless. Bulbs from the same batch age at the same rate, so when one goes the other is usually close behind, and a fresh bulb beside a tired one is visibly brighter and unevenly aimed. Doing both at once costs a few dollars more and saves doing the job twice.
| Bulb | Covers | Type | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1S | low and high beam | HID | a pair |
D1S is a widely used headlight bulb, fitted to 1.6% of the vehicles we hold specs for. Any parts store will have it, and you are not restricted to the dealer.
Every bulb on this vehicle
Headlights get the attention, but the small bulbs are what fail an inspection. A burnt-out brake or turn bulb is also the cheapest ticket you will ever get, and most of these are a few dollars and a twist to change.
| Position | Bulb | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Low beam (headlight) | D1S | HID |
| High beam | D1S | HID |
| Fog light | LED | LED |
| Front turn signal | 2357A | Miniature |
| Brake / tail | LED | LED |
| Rear turn signal | LED | LED |
| Reverse / backup | LED | LED |
| License plate | LED | LED |
Standard HID headlights use D1S. Fog and most exterior lights are integrated LED. Front turn 2357A on HID models.
Why this keeps getting harder
Headlight bulbs used to be a commodity: a handful of codes covered most cars and any of them cost a few dollars. That is ending. Across the vehicles we hold specs for, factory LED low beams went from 0% of 2000s cars to 59% of 2025-and-newer ones. LEDs last far longer, which is the upside and a real one. The tradeoff is that when they do fail, it is often not a bulb you can buy at all, and the fix moves from a $20 part to a headlight assembly.

Frequently asked
What headlight bulb does a 2017 Genesis G80 take?
It uses a single D1S bi-xenon bulb per side, which serves both low and high beam through a shield in the projector.
Is the 2017 Genesis G80 headlight bulb a DIY job?
The 2017 Genesis G80 uses D1S HID (xenon) low beams. This is a real bulb you can replace, but it is not a casual swap: HID runs through a ballast at several thousand volts to strike the arc, so disconnect the battery first and never handle a live system. Replace them in pairs - xenon bulbs shift colour as they age, and a new one next to an old one is obvious. Do not touch the glass with bare fingers.
Is D1S a common headlight bulb?
D1S is a widely used headlight bulb, fitted to 1.6% of the vehicles we hold specs for. Any parts store will have it, and you are not restricted to the dealer.
