What it is
A Chrysler Crossfire headlight bulb (also called a headlamp bulb or front light bulb) is the small halogen lamp inside the headlight housing that makes your low beams and high beams work. On the Crossfire, both the low beam and the high beam use the same style bulb. See the Crossfire owner's manual charts for exact specs: the 2008 manual ÒReplacement BulbsÓ page and the 2005 manual listing. (ManualsLib)
Quick fit guide
Years & trims
Crossfire owner's manuals show H7 55W for both beams on standard models and SRT-6. Check your year's book if you want to double-confirm: 2005 manual, ÒReplacement BulbsÓ and 2008 manual, ÒReplacement BulbsÓ. (ManualsLib)
Safe legal upgrades
Stick with H7 halogen for the headlight bulb if you want to stay within U.S. federal lighting rules. NHTSA explains that LED light sources are not currently permitted as a replacement ÒbulbÓ in replaceable-bulb headlamps (like the Crossfire's) under FMVSS 108. Read the 2024 NHTSA interpretation and the FMVSS 108 regulation here: NHTSA interpretation and 49 CFR ¤571.108 (FMVSS 108). Fog lights are optional lamps, but any change should still follow lighting rules and local laws. (NHTSA, ecfr.gov)
Brightness & color
Halogen H7 bulbs are 55 watts by spec. Most ÒwhiterÓ halogen styles use coatings to change color temperature; they don't change the wattage. If you often drive in rain or fog, a warmer white can reduce glare in mist. Keep headlamps clean and properly aimed to get the best light before chasing ÒbrighterÓ bulbs. See the Crossfire manual's Headlight Aiming.
How to replace (front headlamp)
Aiming basics
Heavy cargo can tilt the car and change where the beam hits. Park on level ground facing a wall, note the beam height before loading, and readjust back to that mark after loading if needed. The Crossfire's manual explains simple aiming checks here: Headlight Aiming.
Care & safety
You may also see these names used for the same thing: headlight bulb, headlamp bulb, headlight lamp, front light bulb, low-beam bulb, high-beam bulb. For fogs, ÒHB4Ó is the same family as Ò9006.Ó The H7, HB4/9006, W5W, and Y21W categories are standardized in lighting references like this global bulb type list.
