Prices for a Chrysler 200 headlight vary widely, typically ranging from about $70 to $700 depending on whether you buy a used, aftermarket, or new OEM assembly, and on whether you need a halogen, projector, or LED unit.
The Chrysler 200 (produced from 2011 through 2017) used several headlight configurations, and availability of new units has declined since the model was discontinued. This article outlines typical costs, sourcing options, and steps to ensure you get the right part for your car.
What affects the price
Several factors influence the cost of a Chrysler 200 headlight, including the headlight type, brand, whether it’s left or right, and the source (OEM vs aftermarket vs used). Projector and LED variants generally cost more than basic halogen assemblies, and new OEM units tend to be pricier than aftermarket or used parts.
Typical price ranges
Prices vary by configuration and source. The list below covers common scenarios for the Chrysler 200 headlight:
- New OEM headlight assembly (halogen version) — typically $250 to $500 per side.
- New OEM headlight assembly (projector/HID or LED variant) — typically $400 to $800 per side.
- Aftermarket (non-OEM) replacement headlight — typically $70 to $250 per side.
- Used or salvage headlight (good condition) — typically $50 to $200 per side.
- Replacement bulbs (not the full assembly) — typically $10 to $60 per bulb.
Note: Availability and exact pricing depend on the year, left vs right side, and seller location. Since the model was discontinued in 2017, new OEM inventory can be limited and salvage or remanufactured options are common.
Where to buy
Choosing where to buy can affect price, quality, and fitment. Consider these sourcing options:
- Authorized Chrysler/OEM parts dealers or the dealership’s parts department.
- Auto parts retailers (in-store or online) offering OEM or aftermarket headlights.
- Online marketplaces and auto-part retailers (RockAuto, Amazon, eBay, etc.).
- Salvage yards and used-parts sellers for lower-cost options.
- Specialty remanufactured or refurbished-headlight suppliers (useful for LEDs or projector units).
Always verify fitment with your vehicle’s VIN and confirm whether the part is left- or right-hand and the exact configuration before purchasing.
How to verify compatibility
To ensure the right match, check the part number against your car’s VIN, confirm whether you need halogen, projector, or LED optics, and verify left-right orientation. If you’re uncertain, consult the seller’s compatibility tools or contact a parts specialist with your VIN on hand.
Considerations for installation
In addition to the part price, factor in potential labor costs if you’re not replacing the headlight yourself. If replacing both sides, you may also need to align and adjust the headlights after installation to ensure proper aim and visibility.
Summary
For a Chrysler 200 headlight, plan for a broad price range: roughly $70–$200 for a used or aftermarket unit, up to $400–$800 for a brand-new OEM assembly with projector or LED features. Bulbs are cheaper, typically $10–$60 per bulb. Because the model was discontinued after 2017, availability can vary, and salvage or remanufactured options are common. Always verify compatibility with the VIN and source from reputable sellers to ensure a correct fit and proper performance.
