The 2013 Chrysler 200 uses different bulbs depending on whether your car has standard halogen headlights or optional HID headlights. In most trims, the low beams use H11 and the high beams use 9005; fog lights typically use H11 as well. If your vehicle is equipped with HID headlights, xenon bulbs are used instead, with the exact bulb code varying by ballast and trim.
Standard halogen headlights
The following list covers the common bulb sizes for the standard halogen setup on the 2013 Chrysler 200.
- Low-beam headlight bulb: H11
- High-beam headlight bulb: 9005 (HB3)
- Front fog light bulb: H11 (if your model has fog lights)
These are the typical replacements for most halogen-equipped 2013 200s. Variations can occur by trim level or headlamp design, so verify the exact bulb code for your specific car if in doubt.
Headlights with HID option
The 2013 Chrysler 200 offered an optional HID (xenon) headlight package on select trims. HID headlights use dedicated xenon bulbs rather than halogen ones. The exact bulb designation depends on the ballast and headlamp assembly, but common configurations rely on D1S or D2S-type bulbs.
- Xenon HID headlight bulbs: typically D1S or D2S variants, depending on the ballast and headlamp assembly
To ensure you order the correct bulb, consult the owner’s manual or verify with a Chrysler dealer or parts supplier using your VIN. The ballast and wiring can affect compatibility even within the same model year.
Notes on verifying your bulb type
Determining the precise bulb code is easiest by inspecting the bulb markings, consulting official documentation, or using a parts lookup with your vehicle identification number (VIN).
How to determine your exact bulb type
Because different trims and regions can differ, use these steps to confirm the correct bulb for your car.
- Check the owner's manual or service manual for the headlight bulb specification by trim
- Physically inspect the existing bulb or the markings on the bulb holder/cover
- Ask a Chrysler dealer or a trusted auto parts store with your VIN to confirm the correct bulb type
Verifying the exact bulb ensures proper fit, brightness, and color temperature, and prevents cross-using incompatible bulbs.
Summary
In brief, the 2013 Chrysler 200 typically uses H11 for low beams, 9005 for high beams, and H11 for fog lights in standard halogen configurations. For HID-equipped models, xenon bulbs—commonly described as D1S or D2S—are used, with the exact type depending on the ballast and trim. Always confirm the precise bulb type for your vehicle through the owner's manual or a dealer using your VIN before purchasing replacements.
