Automotive light bulbs inside the Dodge Charger’s headlights provide visibility on the road at any time of day or weather, thereby performing an integral safety function.

However, nothing is eternal - and over time, light bulbs fail and need to be replaced. It is important to know exactly which bulb size is needed in Dodge Charger to replace the low or high beams.

And someone just wants to upgrade the Dodge Charger’s light bulbs with more durable and brighter ones wondering what aftermarket LED or HID kits to get.

Is this about you?

Things to consider choosing light bulbs for Dodge Charger?

Nothing could be easier than choosing a light bulb for your Dodge Charger. But in reality, there are many factors to consider. Before purchasing, determine the following:

• The place where you need to replace a light bulb;
  
• Base type;
  
• Light bulb output;
  
• Type of bulb (size);
  
• The color temperature of the bulb
  

Determine the type of base of the light bulb for Dodge Charger



Look carefully at the two bulbs: one for the headlight, the second for the glove box illumination.

They are distinguished not only by size but also by the base type. In each position in the Dodge Charger, the base is different - that's why you need to choose bulbs that are suitable for a specific socket.

Choosing the right bulb with the correct base is important due to the following factors.

Compatibility

Bulbs for a Dodge Charger are available in a variety of sizes and bases. The base is a thing that connects the bulb to the socket in your vehicle. Using a bulb with the incorrect base will result in electrical issues or simply not working at all. It's like trying to fit a square piece of wood into an oval hole; it just won't fit.

Electrical Safety

Using the incorrect base can result in electrical issues such as short circuits or blown fuses. This may result in expensive repairs and possible road safety threats. A properly mounted bulb ensures that the electrical circuit stays intact.

Lighting Efficiency

The proper base guarantees that the bulb sits correctly in the Dodge Charger’s socket. This is critical for the best lighting performance. Unsymmetrical illumination or shadows caused by a displaced bulb can reduce driving visibility.

Longevity

Dodge Charger light bulbs with the proper base are less likely to break free or sustain harm from too much movement. When using the incorrect base, bulbs may get loose or detached over time, resulting in early failure and, more often, replacements.

What are the different types of Dodge Charger bulbs?

Dodge Charger may accommodate the light bulbs that differ in structure and source of emitted light. Currently, there are three main types of Dodge Charger bulbs - halogen, LED, and xenon. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and each motorist chooses the ones that best suit his purposes.

Here is some brief information about every Dodge Charger bulb type.

Halogen Headlights for Dodge Charger



Emission Source

Halogen bulbs emit light using a filament of tungsten enclosed in a halogen gas-filled glass casing.

Brightness

Halogen bulbs produce a warm, yellow-colored light for the Dodge Charger headlights and are well-known for their reliability and low cost.

Construction

A tungsten filament and a small capsule that contains a halogen gas aid in recycling the tungsten back into the filament while extending the bulb's lifespan.

Pros:

• Low price;
  
• Versatility;
  
• Light flow that doesn't blind other drivers.
  

Cons:

• Compared to others, the light flux is weak, which only worsens over time, literally, in a couple of years, these bulbs begin to lose power and shine less brightly;
  
• Short service life;
  
• During operation, they get very hot, leading to burnout of the refractor or glass.
