2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Headlight Bulb Size
Everything changed with the 2019 Silverado. Chevrolet launched the T1XX platform with a larger cab, new bed configurations, the Trail Boss off-road trim, and a front-end design that split opinions among truck buyers from day one. The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 headlight bulb size is H11 for the low beam and 9005 for the high beam. A key difference from the previous K2XX generation: the fog lights on the 2019 Silverado switched from 5202 to H11 bulbs.
The T1XX headlight housings have a distinctly different shape from the outgoing model, and halogen-equipped trims like the WT and Custom still leave room for a meaningful brightness upgrade. Searching for 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LED headlights will lead you to plug-and-play kits that fit the new housing design without any modification. Whether you are driving the turbocharged 2.7L four-cylinder or the 5.3L V8, better forward lighting makes a tangible difference on the road.
LED and HID Options for the 2019 Silverado 1500
The 2019 Silverado's redesigned headlight housings accept the same H11 and 9005 bulb types as the previous generation, so the LED upgrade process remains familiar. Remove the factory halogen bulb from behind the housing, insert the LED replacement with a quarter-turn, and mount the compact driver. Both low beams can be swapped in about 20 minutes.
HID conversion kits are another strong option, especially for Trail Boss and LT Trail Boss owners who spend time on unpaved roads where maximum forward illumination matters. Each HID bulb pairs with a slim ballast, and the combination delivers intense light output that extends well beyond what halogen can achieve. Budget about 40 minutes for the full HID installation.
Because the 2019 Silverado uses H11 bulbs in both the low beam and fog light positions, you can use the same LED kit for both — a convenient simplification over the previous generation's 5202 fog light setup. HID Nation backs every kit with a lifetime warranty and free shipping on all orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What headlight bulb size does a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 use?
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 uses H11 for the low beam, 9005 for the high beam, and H11 for the fog lights. This is a change from the previous-generation Silverado, which used 5202 fog light bulbs. The H11 and 9005 headlight sizes remain the same.
Did the 2019 Silverado 1500 change fog light bulb sizes from the 2017?
Yes. The 2019 Silverado 1500 on the new T1XX platform uses H11 fog light bulbs, replacing the 5202 bulbs used on the 2014-2018 K2XX-generation Silverado. The low beam (H11) and high beam (9005) sizes stayed the same across both generations. Make sure to order the correct fog light size for your model year.
Can I use the same LED bulb for the low beam and fog light on my 2019 Silverado?
Yes. Because the 2019 Silverado 1500 uses H11 bulbs in both the low beam and fog light positions, the same H11 LED replacement bulb works in either location. This makes ordering parts simpler — you can purchase a set of H11 LED bulbs and use them across both positions.
Are LED headlights a good upgrade for the 2019 Silverado Trail Boss?
The Trail Boss is built for off-pavement use where lighting conditions can be especially challenging — dirt roads, unlit trails, and dusty environments. LED headlights provide a significantly brighter, wider beam than the factory halogen bulbs, which helps you spot obstacles, wildlife, and trail markers earlier. The low power draw and vibration resistance of LEDs are also well suited to off-road driving.
How do I install LED headlights on a 2019 Silverado 1500?
Access the headlight bulbs from behind the housing in the engine bay. Twist the H11 low beam bulb counterclockwise to release it, disconnect the wiring plug, and remove the old halogen. Connect the LED bulb to the harness, insert it into the housing, and twist clockwise to lock. Mount the LED driver in a secure location nearby. Repeat for the other side. Most owners finish in 20 to 25 minutes.
