For most 2013 Dodge Avengers with halogen headlights, the low-beam bulb is H11, the high-beam bulb is 9005, and the fog lights use H11. If your car has factory HID headlights, the bulbs are HID (D2S or D3S) with ballast. Always verify the exact sizes from the owner's manual or the driver’s door placard, since trim levels and options can vary.
The following guide outlines the common halogen configuration and notes for HID setups, plus instructions to verify the exact bulbs for your specific vehicle.
Halogen headlight setup (common in 2013 Avenger models)
Before listing the bulb sizes by function, note that most 2013 Avengers with halogen headlights use the following bulbs.
- Low beam: H11
- High beam: 9005 (HB5)
- Fog lights: H11
These sizes cover the typical halogen front lighting configuration for the 2013 Avenger. If your trim or aftermarket components differ, confirm with the manual or dealership.
Headlights with factory HID (rare option)
For the few 2013 Avengers equipped with factory HID headlights, you would use HID bulbs such as D2S or D3S with an accompanying ballast. These are not interchangeable with halogen bulbs and require the correct ballast and wiring. Always verify your exact setup with the owner's manual or a Dodge dealer.
Important safety note: Do not mix halogen bulbs with HID ballasts in the same housing; that can cause damage and electrical issues.
How to verify the exact bulbs on your vehicle
Use these steps to confirm the bulb types for your exact car:
- Check the owner's manual for the bulb specification table for your trim.
- Look at the driver-side door jamb placard for bulb size or part numbers.
- Physically remove a headlight bulb and read the marking on the base to confirm the size.
Following these steps ensures you order the correct bulbs for your model and avoid buying wrong sizes.
Summary
In summary, the typical 2013 Dodge Avenger with halogen headlights uses H11 for the low beams, 9005 for the high beams, and H11 for the fog lights. If your model has factory HID headlights, you’ll use HID bulbs (D2S or D3S) with ballast. Always verify exact bulb types for your specific vehicle configuration.
