Saturn Vue high beam headlight bulbs use 9005 size, while low beam headlight bulbs use H11 or 9006 size depending on configuration. The replacement chart covers 2002 through 2010 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 Vue uses two bulb types across its high beam and low beam headlight positions: the 9005 for high beams across all model years in the specifications, and either the 9006 or H11 for low beams depending on the model year.
The 9005 bulb follows the ANSI standard used in the US and Canada. It is a single-filament halogen bulb with a P20d base, rated at 12V and 65W, making it the highest-wattage bulb among the three types listed in these specifications.
The 9006 is also an ANSI-standard single-filament halogen bulb, rated at 12V and 55W, but it uses a P22d base rather than the P20d base found on the 9005. The differing base types mean the 9005 and 9006 are not interchangeable despite their similar appearance.
The H11 follows the ECE standard used in Europe and worldwide, though it carries US approval as well. It is a single-filament halogen bulb with a PGJ19-2 base, rated at 12V and 55W.
Although the 9006 and H11 share the same voltage and wattage ratings, their base types are different. The 9006 uses a P22d base while the H11 uses a PGJ19-2 base, and the two bulbs are not interchangeable.
The Saturn Vue (2002-2007) uses the 9006 for the low beam headlight position. Starting with the 2008 model year, the low beam specification changed to the H11, which represents a shift from an ANSI-standard to an ECE-standard bulb type.
The high beam position on the Saturn Vue uses the 9005 across all model years covered in the specifications, from 2002-2010, with no variation across that span.
