Frequently Asked Questions

What size headlight bulb does a Buick Enclave use?
The Buick Enclave headlight bulb size varies by year. Newer models often use factory LED units, while older models use H11, H7, or 9006 halogen bulbs. Check the year-specific specs below for your exact fitment.
Can I put LED bulbs in my Buick Enclave?
