There isn’t a single bulb type that fits every 2015 Dodge Charger. Base models typically use halogen projector headlights, while higher trims or models with options may come with factory HID headlights. The exact bulbs depend on trim and equipment, so verify your car’s specification to be sure.
Common headlight configurations by trim
To help you navigate the variations, here are the two main configurations you’ll encounter on the 2015 Charger depending on trim and options.
- Halogen projector headlights (typical on base SE/SXT models): low-beam bulbs are usually H11, high-beam bulbs are typically 9005, and fog lights use H11.
- Factory HID headlights (higher trims or with optional packages): HID setup uses ballast-assisted bulbs (commonly D3S or D2S). The low/high beams are integrated as HID, and fog lights, if equipped, may still use halogen bulbs depending on the exact package.
When replacing bulbs, always confirm the exact specification for your vehicle, as packaging and trims can differ and some options may alter which bulbs are installed.
Bulb sizes you’ll likely need for replacements
If you’re shopping for replacements, these sizes cover the most common setups you’ll find on the 2015 Charger.
- Low beam (halogen projector): H11
- High beam (halogen): 9005
- Fog light: H11
- Factory HID headlights (if equipped): D3S or D2S bulbs with corresponding ballast
Note that HID-equipped cars use a ballast along with the bulb, and replacement parts may include both the bulb and ballast or a complete HID kit depending on the service needs.
How to confirm the exact bulb type for your specific Charger
To ensure you get the correct bulbs for your exact car, follow these steps and consult official sources as needed.
- Check the owner’s manual or the service/parts section of the manual for the bulb specification corresponding to your trim and options.
- Inspect the headlight bulb itself by removing the dust cap and reading the size printed on the bulb or its retaining device.
- Match the bulb size to Dodge/Mopar catalogs or reputable parts retailers using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to confirm the exact configuration.
- If uncertain, contact a Dodge dealership or certified technician to verify before purchasing replacements.
Verifying via the official sources helps avoid purchasing the wrong bulb type, especially if your Charger uses HID or a variant of a halogen setup.
Summary
The 2015 Dodge Charger offers both halogen projector headlights and factory HID headlights, depending on trim and options. Halogen setups commonly use H11 low beams and 9005 high beams with H11 fog lights, while HID setups use D3S or D2S bulbs with ballast. Always verify the exact bulb type for your vehicle using the manual, VIN, or a dealer to ensure you buy the correct replacements. If you’re unsure, a professional can identify and install the proper bulbs efficiently.
