Be careful when buying these bulbs. I have a 2012 300C with HID Xenons that require a D3S bulb. I bought my car off the showroom floor, brand new, and have never had any light modifications or replacements. Chysler used Philips as a supplier for these bulbs, when the car was manufactured however, they now use Osram bulbs. I went to the local dealership, as well as Autozone, and O'Reily autoparts to find the bulb, but none of them have the original Philips bulbs. The bulbs have the same product number, except the Philips bulbs have a different connector that won't allow you to replace with Osram bulbs, on some 300 models, as mine, because of this different plug and Socket. Make sure you take the bulb with you for replacement because the Philips bulbs have notches (or guides) inside the connector, to ensure proper placement of the plug, which will not allow you to use other bulbs, which most don't have the notches. These bulbs are almost $300 at Chrysler, $160 at Autozone, and $130 at O'Reily. I have my local dealership calling Mopar to find a solution, because I haven't found a local Philips bulb, and I damn sure don't want to have to replace the harness or entire headlight assembly because Chrysler decided to change it's suppliers and hardware without supporting original equipment.
Was yours self leveling headlight?. My 2012 300c is self leveling. I bought my D3s bulbs from diode dynamics. It's in the mail now. I'm wondering if I change the hid bulb if it would affect the" leveling motor"?
@@rindershow212 mine came with Phillips bulbs from Chrysler but sometime after I purchased it, Mopar changed to Osram bulbs with no mention of Phillips as ever being a supplier.
you probably dont care but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my gf for the last days =)
I lost that spring you used from the old bulb. Is this something that necessary to have or no? Also do you know where I can purchase one? Maybe an amazon link or something ?
I have a 2012 Chrysler 300 s. It doesn't have them Hemi engine though. Can you give me the link that you bought the headlight? Would it be the same for my car?
Rick Saldana sorry for the late response don’t check my mail to often . I found the bulb on amazon it’s a #D3S 4300k . I think it costed me like $38 with free shipping, the dealer will take you for about $120 just for the bulb .
I have 2011 300c hid so I wanna get some new headlights from eBay but some says not compatible, so I was wondering I thought mayb it would fit but only thing wouldn’t fit would be the halogen bulbs right? ...but wouldn’t I able to just use my existing hid bulbs in place of where halogen would be ????

@@amartinez3732 I went with 6000k. It is close to my fog light color. I'm hoping. So we will see. If I don't like it then I may exchange for 4300k or 5000k
@@amartinez3732 my man!!. I dont think yours is self leveling man!! When you took that spring off, the hid bulb just released and came out. I'm have a hard time doing the same. I snapped off the spring but the hid bulb is not coming out. Almost as if there is some else hold it in Edited: finally got it off. The passenger side for some reason came off easy like in your video. But the driver side took my an hour to figure out why it won't come off.
I kno the bulbs are diff hid and halogens but I need new headlights so my question is wouldn’t the non hid housing still works for me and I can just use my existing hid in place?
Danny Dang the bulbs still should fit the same housing i think they were h7 bulbs not sure but if you have a non hid housing and trying to add hid then you will have to add a balast and make a cut in the middle of the dust cover to run bulb cables
Ilse Morales Amazon has them at one point , you could find them on eBay there called “d3S bulb gasket ring seal spring “ or dealer but your probably going to pay 3x the price at dealer .

Thankyou for this video straight to the job no stuffing around like some of the others good job thanks.
Thank you so much for posting this video! Your instructions were so easy to follow. I had no trouble changing the bulb on my 300C.
Dope!! Precise!! Keep going!!
Thank you for this video. The Limited model also has these bulbs. Couldn’t figure out why all the other vids I watched weren’t the same parts inside.

your video was so helpful and easy to understand. thank you.
thanks for thr video. You are right, the Bade Chrysler 300 comes with halogen bulbs and cant have the stock those bulbs, have to go aftermarket
Max Power yes the base model don’t have xenon aka “hid” i believe the s models & C models only have them

How to replace the retainer clip
I lost that spring you used from the old bulb. Is this something that necessary to have or no? Also do you know where I can purchase one? Maybe an amazon link or something ?
Morad M yes it’s important that keeps tension on bulb , w/o the bulb will be bouncing around and ultimately breaking
Where do u buy the bulb holder and the wire? I was able to order the bulb but it didn't come with the wire and the holder?
The wire & holder are part of the headlight assembly , you would have to replace the whole assembly .
I have a 2012 Chrysler 300 s. It doesn't have them Hemi engine though. Can you give me the link that you bought the headlight? Would it be the same for my car?

Good one ☝️ brother
Hey where can I get another spring it fell into the hood. I tried to find it with a magnetic stick and could find it. Please help
You could find them on eBay , there called spring tensioner there only a couple of bucks

Danny Dang you could use hid , but you would have to add a wiring harness and most likely punch a hole thru the dust cover to connect lights
Having trouble with the spring damm
I have 2012 chrysler 300s v8 not the awd edition though and I can't figure out if I have these or not
You should have these , all ( S&C ) models use these bulbs

Yes, mine were self leveling head lights . The bulb sits in a cradle so it won’t effect it at all .
Go with 4300 k color , it’s as close as It gets to stock .

I accidentally ran over the metal spring that goes around the bulb!! Where can I get new one?

Might be a bad bulb , swap it out with the passenger side and see if that fixes the problem !
@@amartinez3732 I did that already
That steel braided cable that connects to your balast also disconnects from the car side , check that cable if it’s secure . There also is an inline fuse for each of the headlights
@@amartinez3732 Yes I just changed cable cheched all fuses and it seems like it's the module that the cable's connect to
@@dagreatness9738 most likely, that’s all that’s left to do .
Can u put led on them
Juan Santiago yes you can
A Martinez when getting the led do you have to put on the spring
Juan Santiago yes that spring has to go with whatever bulb you decided to use , without the spring your bulb will be bouncing around freely
A Martinez what size bulb is it I can’t find one I order 9005 and the connection is different looks like yours
Juan Santiago 9012
