The 2015 Chrysler 200 uses two main headlight configurations depending on trim and options. In most models with standard halogen lighting, the low beams use H11 bulbs and the high beams use 9005 bulbs; some trims equipped with factory HID headlights use D3S bulbs for the HID projector. Fog lights, if present, typically use H11 as well.
Headlight configurations by trim and option
Here’s how the bulb types break down across the common configurations you might find in a 2015 Chrysler 200.
Halogen headlights (most trims)
For models with standard halogen headlights, the following bulbs are used:
- Low beam: H11
- High beam: 9005 (HB5)
- Fog light: H11 (if the vehicle is equipped with fog lamps)
Halogen-equipped 2015 Chrysler 200s rely on readily available, inexpensive bulbs, and swapping them is a straightforward maintenance task.
Xenon/HID headlights (trim-specific)
Some 2015 Chrysler 200s were equipped with factory HID headlights. In these systems, the projector bulbs are HID bulbs, typically:
- Low beam: D3S (most common configuration for HID projectors in this model year)
- High beam: often a separate reflector or a halogen high-beam bulb depending on the exact headlight assembly
Because HID setups vary by production batch and trim, verify the exact bulb type by checking the vehicle's ballast labels or the owner's manual.
How to verify the bulb type on your car
If you're unsure which configuration your 2015 Chrysler 200 has, you can confirm by one of these methods:
- Inspect the current headlight bulbs in the housing; halogen bulbs will be glass bulbs with visible filaments, while HID bulbs are enclosed with a ballast.
- Consult the owner's manual or the label on the headlight assembly or ballast for the bulb specification.
- Check the VIN-to-build options via a dealer or Chrysler's official parts catalog to confirm which headlight type your specific vehicle uses.
- Contact a qualified technician if you are unsure about replacing HID bulbs, as HID systems require proper handling and ballast coordination.
Verifying the exact bulb type ensures you purchase the correct replacement and avoid compatibility issues.
Summary
The 2015 Chrysler 200 can use two main bulb configurations. Most cars with halogen headlights use H11 for low beams and 9005 for high beams, with H11 also used for fog lights on equipped models. A subset of vehicles with factory HID headlights use HID bulbs such as D3S for the low-beam projector, with the high beam configuration varying by assembly. Always verify with the owner's manual or dealer to ensure you buy the correct bulb for your exact trim and options.
