What Lighting System Does the 2000 Chrysler 300M Have?

The 2000 Chrysler 300M features an extensive lighting system with 13 bulb positions. It uses halogen technology with 9006XS LED low beams and 9005XS LED high beams in a dual-bulb configuration. The 300M has been available from 1999 to 2004, and the 2000 model falls in the early-generation years. As a Chrysler vehicle, it uses a CANbus electrical system that monitors bulb status.

Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2000 Chrysler 300M?

To upgrade the 2000 Chrysler 300M headlights to LED, you will need a 9006XS LED LED kit for the low beams and a 9005XS LED LED kit for the high beams. Start with the low beams since they are used most often and have the biggest impact on nighttime visibility. Important: Chrysler vehicles use a CANbus system that detects bulb wattage. Standard LED bulbs may trigger dashboard warnings or flicker. Choose LED kits labeled "CANbus-compatible" or add inline decoder resistors to prevent these issues. For the fog lights, a H3 LED LED bulb provides a clean white output that pairs well with LED headlights.

How to Replace Bulbs on a 2000 Chrysler 300M

To remove the headlight bulb, disconnect the wiring harness, then twist the bulb counter-clockwise and pull it straight out of the housing. Older model years like the 2000 300M typically offer easy access to the headlight bulbs from behind the headlight assembly under the hood. Most owners can complete the swap in under 10 minutes per side. When installing the new bulb, avoid touching the glass with bare fingers. Skin oils create hot spots that shorten bulb life. Wear clean gloves or handle the bulb by its plastic base only. The fog lights are accessed from underneath the front bumper. You may need to remove a few plastic clips or screws from the fender liner to reach the H3 LED fog light socket.

How Long Do 2000 Chrysler 300M Headlight Bulbs Last?

Standard halogen headlights on the 2000 Chrysler 300M have an expected lifespan of 500 to 1,000 hours, which works out to roughly 2 to 3 years of normal use. Signs of a failing halogen bulb include noticeably dimmer output, a yellowish tint compared to the other headlight, or intermittent flickering. At 26 years old, the original bulbs on your 300M are likely overdue for replacement. Even if they still illuminate, reduced brightness significantly impacts nighttime safety. When one headlight burns out, replace both sides at the same time. Bulbs from the same batch age at similar rates, and mismatched brightness is distracting to oncoming drivers.

What Bulbs Are Compatible with the 2000 Chrysler 300M?

The 9006XS low beam bulb on the 2000 Chrysler 300M is a specific fitment. There are no widely recognized cross-compatible alternatives, so make sure to purchase the exact 9006XS size. Using the wrong bulb size can cause improper beam patterns that reduce your visibility and blind other drivers. It can also cause overheating inside the headlight housing, potentially warping the plastic lens or reflector. Always verify the bulb number before purchasing.

2000 Chrysler 300M Headlight FAQ

The 2000 Chrysler 300M uses a 9006XS LED bulb for the low beam headlights. We recommend upgrading to LED for better visibility.

The high beam bulb size for the 2000 Chrysler 300M is 9005XS LED.

The 2000 Chrysler 300M uses a dual bulb headlight system. This means you have separate bulbs for high and low beams.

Yes, the 2000 Chrysler 300M comes with standard halogen bulbs from the factory, but they can be upgraded to LED. You will need a 9006XS LED LED conversion kit for the low beams.

Yes, the 2000 Chrysler 300M takes a H3 LED bulb for the fog light position.

Turn off the vehicle and open the hood. Locate the headlight assembly from behind, remove the dust cover or retaining clip, disconnect the wiring harness, twist the old 9006XS LED bulb counter-clockwise to remove it, then insert the new bulb and reassemble. Note: Chrysler vehicles use a CANbus system, so LED replacements may need an anti-flicker decoder. The whole process typically takes 10 to 30 minutes per side depending on accessibility.

LED bulbs used off-road or in auxiliary lights are legal everywhere. For on-road headlight use, legality varies by state. Many states allow LED retrofits as long as the beam pattern meets DOT standards. For the best legal compliance, choose a DOT-approved 9006XS LED LED kit that is designed as a direct replacement and produces a proper cutoff pattern without excessive glare.

A pair of halogen 9006XS LED bulbs costs $15 to $40, while LED conversion kits run $25 to $60 per pair. If you have a shop do the work, expect an additional $20 to $50 in labor per bulb. Replacing them yourself at home saves the labor cost and usually takes under 30 minutes.

Halogen bulbs produce a warm yellow light (around 3200K), last 500 to 1000 hours, and draw more power. LED bulbs emit a brighter white light (5000-6000K), last 25,000+ hours, and use less energy. LED upgrades for the 9006XS LED position are available as direct plug-and-play replacements. Since the Chrysler uses CANbus monitoring, choose a CANbus-compatible LED kit to avoid dashboard errors.

Did Chrysler 300M Bulb Sizes Change Over the Years?

Over its production run from 1999 to 2004, the Chrysler 300M has seen bulb size changes in the Low Beam, Side Marker and Turn Signal Front positions. The 2000 model uses the earlier bulb specification that was in place before the change around 2002. Always verify the exact bulb size for your specific 2000 model year using the chart above, as using the wrong size can result in poor fitment or reduced light output.
