2019 Chevrolet Colorado Headlight Bulb Size
With the addition of the ZR2 Bison — featuring AEV stamped-steel bumpers and underbody skid plates — and the new street-sport RST trim, the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado expanded its lineup to cover everything from job-site hauler to desert runner to boulevard cruiser. The 2019 Chevrolet Colorado headlight bulb size is H11 for the low beam and 9005 for the high beam, with H11 fog light bulbs on fog-light-equipped trims. These sizes carry over unchanged from the 2018 model year, and all trims share the same headlight bulb fitment.
Owners looking for 2019 Chevrolet Colorado LED headlights will find that this midsize truck responds particularly well to lighting upgrades. The Colorado does everything — commute, haul, tow, crawl rocks — and factory halogen output limits what you can do after sundown. Replacing the stock bulbs with a plug-and-play LED or HID kit transforms visibility in exactly the conditions where this truck excels: unlit county roads, dusty construction sites, and remote trails.
Upgrading the 2019 Colorado: LED vs. HID
The 2019 Colorado's halogen projector housing is well-suited for aftermarket LED bulbs. An H11 LED conversion bulb slides into the low beam position with a simple twist, and the external driver tucks behind the housing without interfering with the hood or other engine bay components. Expect full 6000K white output the instant you turn on your lights — no gradual warm-up like you get with HID.
HID kits deliver the highest raw lumen count available for the H11 and 9005 positions. Each bulb pairs with a compact ballast, and the installation takes about 40 minutes for both sides. For Bison and ZR2 owners who push their trucks into genuinely remote terrain, the extra beam density from HID lighting can make a real difference when navigating washed-out roads and unimproved trails after dark.
The RST trim owners tend to prioritize the clean, modern look of 6000K LED output, which pairs well with the RST's blacked-out styling cues. No matter which kit you choose, HID Nation includes free shipping and a lifetime warranty covering every component in the box.
Frequently Asked Questions
What headlight bulb size does a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado use?
The 2019 Chevrolet Colorado uses an H11 bulb for the low beam, a 9005 bulb for the high beam, and an H11 bulb for the fog lights. This fitment is the same across every 2019 Colorado trim — WT, LT, Z71, ZR2, ZR2 Bison, and RST. Engine choice does not change the bulb sizes.
Are the 2019 Colorado headlight bulbs the same as the 2018?
Yes. The 2019 Chevrolet Colorado uses identical headlight bulb sizes to the 2018 model — H11 low beam, 9005 high beam, and H11 fog lights. An LED or HID kit designed for the 2018 Colorado will fit the 2019 without any differences. The housing design remained the same across both model years.
What makes the ZR2 Bison different for headlight upgrades?
The 2019 Colorado ZR2 Bison uses the same headlight housings and bulb sizes as the standard ZR2 and other Colorado trims. The AEV front bumper on the Bison sits lower than the headlights and does not block bulb access from the engine bay. Installation is no different from any other 2019 Colorado. LED bulbs are an especially practical choice for the Bison because they handle the vibration of off-road driving without the filament fatigue that shortens halogen bulb life.
How long does it take to install LED headlights on a 2019 Colorado?
Most owners complete the low beam LED installation in 20 to 30 minutes for both sides. The driver side offers slightly more room behind the housing. Remove the factory H11 bulb with a counterclockwise twist, disconnect the harness, plug in the LED bulb, and secure the driver unit behind the housing. If you upgrade the high beams (9005) and fog lights (H11) at the same time, add another 20 minutes.
Should I choose LED or HID headlights for my 2019 Colorado?
For most 2019 Colorado owners, LED is the better all-around choice. LED bulbs reach full brightness instantly, have no external ballast to mount, and last significantly longer than either halogen or HID. HID kits produce slightly higher peak lumen output, which some off-road and towing-focused owners prefer. Both types represent a substantial improvement over factory halogen. HID Nation offers both options with free shipping and a lifetime warranty, so either path is risk-free.
