That means headlight bulbs are relevant for halogen-equipped XV variants, while LED-equipped versions use sealed LED units/modules serviced as assemblies.

For halogen XV models, the low beam typically uses an H11 bulb and the high beam an HB3 (9005). These bulbs provide dependable illumination and are easy to replace when they age or fail. The purpose is simple: safe, ADR/WOF-compliant light output for night and poor-weather driving, with a light pattern matched to the XV’s reflectors/projectors.
