The Dodge Durango tail light utilizes a 3057 bulb size for illumination across various production versions. Available information covers a specific time range starting from 1998 through 2013.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Dodge Durango outer tail light uses the 3057 bulb across the 1998-2006, 2009, and 2011-2013 model years.
The 3057 is a dual-filament wedge bulb classified under the T25 form factor, operating at 12V with a wattage rating of 27W on the high filament and 7W on the low filament, making it suitable for combined stop and tail light functions within a single housing.
The inner tail light position on the Dodge Durango for the 2011-2013 model years takes the 194 bulb.
The 194 is a miniature wedge bulb classified under the T10 form factor, rated at 12V and 3.78W, a low-wattage output consistent with indicator or courtesy lighting roles.
Both the 194 and 3057 are ANSI-standardized bulbs recognized in the United States and Canada, meaning their electrical and physical specifications conform to a defined industry standard rather than a proprietary format.
The T10 and T25 designations refer to the tubular envelope size of each bulb, with T25 being physically larger than T10, and the two are not interchangeable despite both using a wedge-style base.
The dual-filament design of the 3057 means a single bulb serves two distinct brightness levels within the outer tail light assembly, distinguishing running light output from brake light output.
The 194 and 3057 occupy separate positions on the 2011-2013 Dodge Durango, with the 194 assigned to the inner tail light and the 3057 assigned to the outer tail light, and substituting one for the other would result in an incorrect fit.
