What Lighting System Does the 2000 Chrysler Town & Country Have?
The 2000 Chrysler Town & Country features an extensive lighting system with 13 bulb positions. It uses halogen technology with 9005XS LED low beams and PC194 high beams in a dual-bulb configuration. The Town & Country has been available from 1996 to 2016, and the 2000 model falls in the early-generation years. As a Chrysler vehicle, it uses a CANbus electrical system that monitors bulb status.
LED Flicker Warning
This vehicle (Chrysler) is known to use a CANbus system that checks for burnt-out bulbs. Installing standard LEDs may cause them to flicker or trigger a dashboard error.
We highly recommend using a CANbus decoder or "Anti-Flicker" resistors.
Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2000 Chrysler Town & Country?
To upgrade the 2000 Chrysler Town & Country headlights to LED, you will need a 9005XS LED LED kit for the low beams and a PC194 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 9040 LED LED bulb provides a clean white output that pairs well with LED headlights.
How to Replace Bulbs on a 2000 Chrysler Town & Country
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 Town & Country 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 9040 LED fog light socket.

Standard halogen headlights on the 2000 Chrysler Town & Country 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 Town & Country 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 Town & Country?
The 9005XS low beam bulb on the 2000 Chrysler Town & Country is a specific fitment. There are no widely recognized cross-compatible alternatives, so make sure to purchase the exact 9005XS 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.
