Chrysler PT Cruiser headlight bulbs utilize 9005XS size for high beam and 9006XS size for low beam applications. The replacement chart covers 2001 through 2010 model years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Chrysler PT Cruiser uses the 9005XS for high beam and the 9006XS for low beam across the entire 2001-2010 production run.
Both the 9005XS and 9006XS are ANSI-standardized halogen bulb types recognized in the United States and Canada, each featuring a single filament and a straight 180-degree base configuration.
The 9005XS operates at 12V and 65W, while the 9006XS operates at 12V and 55W, reflecting the lower wattage typically assigned to low beam applications.
The "XS" designation in both bulb types indicates a physically shorter bulb body compared to the standard 9005 and 9006, which affects housing clearance and makes the two variants non-interchangeable with their full-size counterparts despite sharing the same electrical ratings.
Because the 9005XS and 9006XS differ in wattage and base keying, the high beam and low beam positions are not interchangeable with each other.
