The Dodge Journey high beam headlight uses a 9005 bulb size while the low beam headlight requires a 9006 bulb size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 2009 to 2019 with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Dodge Journey uses the 9005 bulb for high beam headlights and the 9006 bulb for low beam headlights across all model years from 2009-2019.
Both the 9005 and 9006 are ANSI-standardized halogen bulbs recognized in the United States and Canada, each operating on a 12-volt electrical system.
The 9005 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 65 watts and fitted with a P20d base, which is the physical connector that locks the bulb into the headlight housing.
The 9006 is a single-filament halogen bulb rated at 55 watts and fitted with a P22d base, making it physically distinct from the 9005 despite their similar appearance.
Because the 9005 and 9006 use different base types, P20d and P22d respectively, the two bulbs are not directly interchangeable without modification, even though they share the same voltage rating.
The 10-watt difference between the 9005 high beam and the 9006 low beam reflects a standard design practice in which high beam filaments draw more power to produce greater light output for long-range visibility.
