Saturn LW200 high beam headlight bulbs use 9005 size, while low beam headlight bulbs use H11 or 9006 size. The replacement chart covers 2001 to 2003 vehicle production 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 Saturn LW200 uses three distinct halogen bulb types across its headlight system: the 9005, H11, and 9006. All three are single-filament halogen bulbs operating at 12 volts.
The 9005 bulb is rated at 65 watts, making it the highest-wattage bulb in the LW200's headlight system. It follows the ANSI standard used in the United States and Canada and uses a P20d base.
The 9006 and H11 bulbs are both rated at 55 watts. The 9006 follows the ANSI standard with a P22d base, while the H11 follows the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide, with a PGJ19-2 base, though it also carries US approval.
The 9005 bulb fills the high beam position across all three model years (2001-2003), making it the only bulb with a consistent fitment throughout the entire production run covered by these specifications.
The low beam position on the Saturn LW200 changed between the 2002 and 2003 model years. The 2001-2002 models use the 9006, while the 2003 model uses the H11.
The 9006 and H11 bulbs are not interchangeable despite sharing the same wattage rating. Their base types differ, with the P22d base of the 9006 being physically incompatible with the PGJ19-2 socket designed for the H11.
The 9005 and 9006 bulbs share a similar physical profile but differ in base type and wattage. The P20d base of the 9005 is not compatible with the P22d socket of the 9006, and the 10-watt difference between them is a further distinction.
