In most 2015 Chrysler 200 models, the low-beam headlamps use H11 bulbs and the high-beam headlamps use 9005 bulbs. If your car is equipped with fog lights, those typically use H11 as well. Some trims or markets may have different setups or HID headlights, so it’s wise to verify with the owner’s manual or the label on the headlight housing.
The following article breaks down the typical bulb types by headlamp function and offers guidance on how to confirm the exact specifications for your specific vehicle and replacing bulbs safely.
Typical bulb types by headlamp function
The list below outlines the common bulb types used for the main headlamp functions on the 2015 Chrysler 200. Variations can occur by trim level and region, so verify on your car if in doubt.
- Low beam: H11
- High beam: 9005 (HB3)
- Fog lights: H11 (if equipped; some markets may use a different bulb)
Note: If your 2015 Chrysler 200 is equipped with HID headlights as an option, the system uses ballast and igniters rather than traditional replaceable bulbs. In that case, refer to the manual for ballast specifications and replacement procedures.
How to confirm the exact bulb types on your car
To verify the precise bulb types for your vehicle, use these checks:
- Consult the owner's manual section on headlights and bulbs.
- Inspect the label inside the headlight housing or on the fuel filler door that lists bulb sizes.
- Compare the original bulb’s base and size at an auto parts store or bring the old bulb to a retailer for comparison.
- If your car has HID headlights, identify whether the system uses ballast and check the manual for the correct ballast or replacement procedure.
By confirming the exact bulb type, you can purchase the correct replacement and ensure proper fit, brightness, and safety.
Replacing headlight bulbs safely
Before you begin, ensure the ignition is off, the headlights are cool, and you have clean hands or gloves. Remove the dust cap, disconnect the electrical connector, and carefully rotate the bulb—usually a quarter-turn—to release it. Handle the new bulb by its metal base, not the glass, and reseat it firmly. Reconnect the connector and replace the dust cap. Finally, test the lights and align them if necessary to maintain proper beam pattern.
If you’re uncertain about the process or cannot locate the correct bulb type, consider having a professional replace the bulbs to avoid damage to the headlight assembly or misalignment.
Summary
The 2015 Chrysler 200 generally uses H11 low-beam bulbs and 9005 high-beam bulbs, with fog lights typically H11 if equipped. Always verify with the owner’s manual or the bulb label on the headlight housing, as trims and markets can vary. Following proper replacement procedures helps ensure safety and correct headlamp alignment.
