LED (all trims; sealed unit, no user-replaceable bulb) for the low beam and LED for the high beam. Trims with factory LED or HID projectors use a sealed assembly instead and are not bulb-serviceable. ### Can you put LED bulbs in a 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. ## Sources - [Chevrolet Pressroom, 2025 Equinox specifications (engine, transmissions, tires, weights, tank)](https://news.chevrolet.com/newsroom.detail.html/Pages/news/us/en/2024/jan/0123-equinox.html) - [fueleconomy.gov, 2025 Equinox EPA ratings](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2025_Chevrolet_Equinox.shtml) - [AMSOIL product lookup, 2025 Equinox 1.5L LSD (0W-20; 4.2 qt FWD / 5.3 qt AWD)](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2025/chevrolet/equinox/1-5l-4-cyl-engine-code-g-lsd-g-turbo/) - [AutoZone, 2025 Equinox battery fitment (Group 48/H6 AGM)](https://www.autozone.com/batteries-starting-and-charging/battery/chevrolet/equinox/2025) - [2025 Equinox key fob battery replacement (CR2450)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRdKhM7zs28) - [WiperBladesUSA, 2025 Equinox wiper size chart](https://www.wiperbladesusa.com/wiper-size/chevrolet/equinox/2025) - [RepairPal, 2025 Equinox recalls (none reported for the gas model)](https://repairpal.com/chevrolet/equinox/2025/recalls) ## Find your exact Equinox - [2025](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2025) - [2024](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2024) - [2023](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2023) - [2022](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2022) - [2021](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2021) - [2020](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2020) - [2019](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2019) - [2018](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2018) - [2017](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2017) - [2016](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2016) - [2015](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2015) - [2014](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2014) - [2013](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2013) - [2012](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/2012) More Chevrolet Equinox guides: - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/oil) - [Battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/battery) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/tires) - [Wiper blades](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/wipers) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/filters) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/chevrolet/equinox/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
