The Dodge Intrepid headlight bulb size specifications include 9005XS and 9007 bulbs for high beam applications, along with 9006XS and 9007 bulbs for low beam functions. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1993 to 2004.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Dodge Intrepid uses three distinct halogen bulb types across its model years: the 9005XS, 9006XS, and 9007, all of which conform to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
The 9007 bulb is a dual-filament halogen unit with a PX29t base, operating at 12V with a wattage rating of 65W on the high beam filament and 55W on the low beam filament. Its dual-filament design allows a single bulb to serve both high and low beam functions within one housing.
The Dodge Intrepid (1993-1997) uses the 9007 for both high beam and low beam functions, reflecting the dual-filament nature of that bulb type.
The 9005XS is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V and 65W, built on a straight 180-degree base configuration. Because it carries only one filament, it is dedicated exclusively to high beam output.
The 9006XS shares the same straight 180-degree base construction as the 9005XS but operates at a lower wattage of 55W, making it the designated low beam bulb for the 1998-2004 model years.
The 1998-2004 Intrepid uses a split-bulb headlight system, with the 9005XS handling high beam duties and the 9006XS handling low beam duties as separate, non-interchangeable units.
Although the 9005XS and 9006XS share the same base style, their wattage ratings differ and they are not interchangeable, as each is engineered for a specific beam function within the headlight assembly.
The transition from the 9007 to the separate 9005XS and 9006XS pairing occurred between the 1997 and 1998 model years, representing a shift from a single dual-filament bulb to two dedicated single-filament bulbs.
