- How to change headlight bulbs on 2017+ Chrysler Pacifica
Also, upgrade to LED from halogen for $30!!!!
Check your stock headlights, this will only work with stock halogen bulbs, not HIDs.
Chrysler Pacifica bulb sizes:
High beam: 9005
Low beam with projector lens: 9005
Low beam without projector lens : H11

I just bought a pacifica, had door and slappy transmission problems, now wanting to change out the lights. I have watched all your other videos on pacificas and they've been so educational. You have been such a huge blessing, and I want to thank you so much for helping the rest of us out!
Thanks for checking in, I appreciate the feedback 👍. Let me know if you have any video suggestions.
@@TheLawnEngineer Actually I do, can you please teach us how to flush the coolant?? I can't find anything online!
@@Taykheed I filmed this over the weekend, should have it up soon.
Thanks for taking the time to share!!!👏👏👏👍😎
You bet!
Great instructions. Haven’t even bought my new bulb yet and I already feel like I can change it no problem. Will be back with results. And I’m now subscribed. THANK YOU SIR! 🙏🏾
You’re welcome! Thanks for taking the time to check in and the sub.
Changed my bulbs today - works great !! Thanks for all the 411 🙌🏽👍🏽🤙🏾💫
Nice work! You are welcome.
Thank you for this awesome video. I just ordered them from Amazon.
Glad to help, not to give you buyers remorse but check out this video ua-cam.com/video/qNConVJJhKw/v-deo.html
Thanks for doing this video
You’re welcome
Great video and instructions. I purchased the bulbs from the link and was able to do the installation. I found that the driver's side was actually more difficult due to more limited visibility than the passenger side. I flipped the lights on after installing each side to make sure that the LEDs were working before putting in the heat sink into the enclosure and closing the dust cover.
Awesome! I’m glad they worked out for you 👍
Unfortunately, while the video on the installation is great, I haven't found the LED headlights to be noticeably brighter in real world usage. Probably going to experiment with a different brand.
@@JustinYung look at the lumen rating. The ones I used are on the lower end, there any many brighter options out there. You will notice that brighter ones will have larger heat sinks and fans to dissipate the heat.
Simple you the best you solve my problem what i forgot my low beams light
I wish you the best you and your family
This means a lot to me
Thanks bro
Glad I could help!
Thanks this helped a lot.
Glad it helped! Thanks for leaving a comment.
I did the rear white reverse lights and rear red brake lights with led pretty amazing. Error code sometimes in right rear but otherwise perfect
I bet that helps the backup camera at night with the reverse lights.
Thanks for showing the lights on @ daytime and nighttime! I just replaced mine and I’m skeptical about driving with them at night vs my halogens, they seem so much dimmer in the garage when compared.
You’re welcome. Also, there are brighter models available, don’t limit yourself to what I used.
Thanks for showing the inside of the headlamp assembly. I dropped the original halogen bulb inside of there accidentally and I am at a crossroad between trying to fish for it somehow with my meaty hands, or removing just enough of the bumper to be able to remove the entire headlamp assembly as a unit and rattling it out.
You're welcome! Good luck getting that bulb out, it is a pretty awkward hand position with the added complication of having the bulb in your fingertips.
@@TheLawnEngineer if only it had worked out that way. I had to take out the assembly, flip it over and shake until it fell out. No missing fasteners or clips though!
@@mrwoopassoh the joys of vehicle maintenance…great jobs on not breaking anything!
Great video - thank you
You are welcome, I'm glad you found some value in the video!
I was just asking someone this morning how to make my headlamps LED THEN I came across your video
I have a 2018 Pacifica S appearance van I just got with only 14,000 miles
@@jhosoi808 awesome, I really like the S appearance package. Hopefully your transmission shifts smooth and will for the life of the vehicle, but if it starts shifting hard you have to reset the Transmission Control Module (TCM). I have a video that walks you thru the process and it takes seconds from the drivers seat.
@@TheLawnEngineer thank you I saw it and saw how happy everyone was - I just took it in to dealership for recall on auto stop/start and they had to replace auxiliary battery
I will drive this car for a month if it gives me any problems I will trade in for 2022 as it shows on Kelley blue book I will have a 30-32k trade in on this van
@@jhosoi808 good plan. Are there 2022s on local lots or would you have to order?
I would suggest disconnecting the wire from the bulb before removing the bulb. Also I test the new bulb before I completely install it. I would also suggest installing the bulb and then connecting the wire. Another suggestion is to use some dielectric grease in the housing of the bulb where the pins are.
Great additions, thanks for taking the time to share.
I'm going to try out the Toshiba HIR1 / 9011 bulbs, ordered from Daniel Stern Lighting. He insists that LEDs is a bad choice. Stock: 9005, 12.8V, 65W, 1700 lumens; New Toshibas: 9011, 12.8V, 65W, 2530 lumens. The Toshibas share identical filament geometry and base architecture as well as the same power consumption as the original 9005 HB3 bulbs. They have some sort of special Infrared Reflective Coating, which makes them a big upgrade.
Very interesting, let me know how they work out for you.
I ordered these bulbs and put them in last night. Easy to install, but driving at 5:45 AM this morning I felt they provided more peripheral lighting, but less light directly ahead. When I finally merged onto interstate, I could see the lights from the car behind me lighting up the road better than my lights. Maybe a brighter bulb would work better, or a HID. Any Suggestions would be appreciated. I put the halogens back in tonight for my morning commute. These bulbs look great, but do not seem to throw enough light for me.
Yes, there are brighter led bulbs available. 9005 is the frame size of the bulb but within that the lumen rating is how bright they are.
If you look thru 9005 bulbs you can find much higher lumen ratings. You will notice that they will start to add cooling fans because of the higher energy draw.
@@TheLawnEngineer unless your van is set up with HID, you cannot use them without $pending lot$ of money.
@@MazichMusic Agreed, I was referring to higher lumen rated LED bulbs. I have an newer video were I test some other LED bulbs: ua-cam.com/video/qNConVJJhKw/v-deo.html
Hi which bulb is it that you used? I have a 2018 pacifica limited and need to change the headlight but would like to the halogen to LED. Thank you for your wonderful video!
I just did another video because I found some better LED bulbs. The link is in the description. The size is 9005 for the low beam and high beam.

Went to the dealership with my '18 Pacifica and was told that need to change the headlight bulb. Watched your video is the best. Mind if i ask where did you bought the lights if you still have the links. Please and thank you. God bless.
There is a link in this videos description to the bulbs on Amazon. I used the MarsAuto bulbs in this video.
Thanks for leaving a comment, god bless you too.
@@TheLawnEngineer Thank you Sir
Can you make a video for 2021 Pacifica headlight replacement
Unfortunately, I don't have access to a '21.
What about the LED accent light bulb replacement? Any video on that?
Unfortunately that is not a bulb you can replace, it’s built into the assembly. There is a control module that can be replaced but you have to remove the bumper to access it.
Looking to replace low beam headlights not sure what brand you used from Amazon
My one headlight went out today
I used the MarsAuto bulbs in this video.
amzn.to/3N7AQxR
Any video on changing the turn signals on the front?
No, sorry. I don't have the vehicle anymore either, so I can't make one.
Hi Thanks for the video. The link you provided say `position High Beam` but in the video says we are working with low beam. is that ok to swap the position ? Please let me know. I am very basic here ! Thanks
The bulb in the link fits low beam or high beam for pacificas with the standard low beams. It’s a bit confusing because HIDs were also offered for the low beams.
In van’s with HID low beams the linked bulbs will replace the high beam bulb and for vans without HID the led bulb will fit low or high beams.
My lens inside is very foggy. Any suggestions on how to clean before installing new bulbs?
I also have a Pacifica, is this a replacement for both low then high beam would be a different color?
And what about fog lights that mine have, is it the same bulb? So I need to buy 3 sets?
Other wise my fog lights and low beams would be different color?
I would buy a bag of desiccant and put it in the headlight assembly overnight with the back cover on. That should remove the moisture.
Yes the fog light bulbs are different, you do need three sets of bulbs to have them all match. Fog lights are H11 bulbs.
Thanks for the video. I think I’ll pick these up. After living with them, are people flashing their brights at you?
No one has flashier brights yet. It’s a big improvement but not overwhelming👍
Awesome! Going to order tonight.
@@randylivengood3112 awesome 👍
Just installed these now. What an incredible difference these make! Hopefully the hold up and last a good long time.
@@randylivengood3112 I’m glad they worked out for you.
did you change front turn signal amber bulbs? cant seem to access those....
I did not, I'll have to look into that. I see that you can purchase the bulbs (12174).
Did you ever find a way to replace these? I’m having the same access issue
would these lights work on a chrysler 200 2015 lx ?
You can convert to led bulbs but you need the 9012 size, it’s slightly different than what the Pacifica uses.
Did you do the daytime running lights/ high beam? I did the low beam led with no issues, the other one had flickering and osiers tried few different brands. Because the day time running light is the same as high beam, just different amounts of power has issues with led
I only did the low beams. I have heard that can be an issue with the high beams. I'll have to look into that more and see if I want to do something there.
@@TheLawnEngineer I turned the daytime lights off in settings, so it’s only on when I flash high beams, but it would be nice to know. The front amber turn signals are hard, couldn’t figure those out. Otherwise everything else is converted to led
@@medjoolmaker Did you use a scan tool to turn them off or is that available in the in-car settings?
@@TheLawnEngineer settings on radio, setting, daylight lights off
@@medjoolmaker nice, thanks.
Should I then use halogens for the high beams?
I did just because they work fine with the high beams lenses. Halogens are terrible with the low beam projector lenses.
I want to order it but I see that they have a 9005 and 9006. What's the difference??
They are the same basic bulb but the locking tabs are different. A 9006 won’t fit in a 9005 housing without some cutting/removal of plastic.
Where do I order these from? I have a 2017 touring L plus with the quad Halogen lights that I hate. Only real downfall of my new to me van.
There is an Amazon link in the video description.
@@TheLawnEngineer thank you I must have missed it.
@@mrsriddle29 You’re welcome! Amazon definitely has the best selection. I agree, the stock halogens are terrible.
Where you get the new bulbs?
Amazon. There is a link in the video description.
What bulbs would be used for the high beams?
It’s the same 9005 bulb. If you use led for the high beam the daytime light will likely flicker but you can turn them off on the infotainment screen settings.
Are the high beams also the DRL?
@@bobdifondi3369 yes high beams are also drl, they just reduce the voltage. The reduced voltage causes the leds to flicker.
Question- the link says these are high beams? That we are putting in the low beam ?
The short answer is that the same bulb is used for low and high beams...but its not quite that simple.
Headlight bulbs required:
Low beam w/o projector lenses: H11
Low beam with projector lenses: 9005
High beam: 9005
I’m just gonna order the one in the link from Amazon and do what you did 😁
@@jhosoi808 Have fun, you are going to like your new lights.
@@TheLawnEngineer Please let me know if I'm understanding this properly: Each headlight is made up of 2 light bulbs- one low beam bulb and one high beam bulb. Some trim models of Pacifica have low beam projectors (9005) and some don't have low beam projectors (H11). Is this right?
@@Angel_Ripoff Your summary is correct.
What is the name of the bulbs/brand how do i find them on amazon
There is an Amazon link in the video's description.
amzn.to/3N7AQxR
The link is for high beams please explain
The same bulb is used for high and low beams, only a different reflector to give the appropriate light patterns.
Wtf how do some Pacifica’s have a metal box with the bulb in them and some don’t?
Some have “upgraded” HID headlights, those in the metal boxes. Unfortunately they were a technology that didn’t last long because LEDs are superior. The real bad news is that they can’t be easily converted.
Did you do fog lights below? Those are worth it too.
I have not but I'll keep the fog lights in mind.

Can I use H11?
Only if you have the standard headlights. If you have projector or HID headlights you can’t use H11. In general, all trims touring and above had projector or HID headlights.
@@TheLawnEngineer Please teach me how to replace the fog lights.
@@golffysuvanboriboon398 sorry, I never tackled that job and I don’t have the vehicle anymore.
The LES bulbs are awful. They absolutely blind you when you’d we then from oncoming traffic
Some are but not all. It’s a matter of how they spread the light and how the headlights are aimed.
