2013–2015 Chevrolet Malibu Headlight and Bulb Sizes

Which Chevrolet Malibu model years does this cover?

These headlight bulbs specifications apply to every Chevrolet Malibu built from 2013 through 2015 — the 8th generation (Epsilon II), mid-size sedan (also sold to fleets as the 2016 'malibu limited'). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. Pick your year for the engines it offered, what changed that year, and the problems recorded against it.

What changed during the 2013–2015 Chevrolet Malibu

• 2013Generation launch, Eco eAssist arrived first (early 2012 on sale), then 2.5L and 2.0T. Electric parking brake and (optional) MyLink debut.
• 2014Quick refresh after criticism: new front fascia, reshaped seats/center console for rear knee room, stop-start added to the 2.5L (new dual-battery setup), 2.5L economy up to 25/36. 18-in tire size changed to 225/50R18. Eco eAssist's final year.
• 2015Carryover; last retail year, the 8th gen continued for fleets only as the 2016 'Malibu Limited'.

What headlight bulb does a 2013–2015 Chevrolet Malibu use?

H11 for the low beam and 9005 (HB3) 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 2013–2015 Chevrolet Malibu take?

9145 (H10).

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2013–2015 Chevrolet Malibu?

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.
