2018–2024 Chevrolet Equinox headlight bulbs: common questions
What headlight bulb does a 2018–2024 Chevrolet Equinox use?
- 9012 (HIR2) halogen on L/LS/LT 2018–2021; HID on some Premier; LED all trims from the 2022 facelift (no user-replaceable bulb) for the low beam and 9005 (2018) / 9012 hi-lo projector (2019–2021 halogen); LED 2022+ for the high beam. Trims with factory LED or HID projectors use a sealed assembly instead and are not bulb-serviceable.
What fog light bulb does a 2018–2024 Chevrolet Equinox take?
- H8 (where equipped, 2018–2021).
Can you put LED bulbs in a 2018–2024 Chevrolet Equinox?
- Physically, yes, LED replacements exist in every common base. Whether they work well depends on the housing: a reflector housing designed around a halogen filament scatters LED output into oncoming traffic instead of down the road. Projector housings tolerate the swap far better. Some vehicles also flag the lower current draw as a bulb-out fault.
