What Lighting System Does the 2019 GMC Savana 3500 Have?
The 2019 GMC Savana 3500 features an extensive lighting system with 13 bulb positions. It uses halogen technology with a single H5054 LED dual-filament bulb handling both low and high beams. The Savana 3500 has been available from 1997 to 2019, and the 2019 model falls in the late-generation years.
Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2019 GMC Savana 3500?
Upgrading the 2019 GMC Savana 3500 to LED headlights is straightforward since it uses a single H5054 LED dual-filament bulb for both low and high beams. You only need one pair of LED bulbs to upgrade both functions. Look for a H5054 LED LED kit that specifically supports dual-filament operation to ensure both beams work correctly. For the fog lights, a LED Fog Light LED bulb provides a clean white output that pairs well with LED headlights.
How to Replace Bulbs on a 2019 GMC Savana 3500
To remove the headlight bulb, disconnect the wiring harness, then twist the bulb counter-clockwise and pull it straight out of the housing. On the 2019 Savana 3500, you will likely encounter rubber dust covers behind the headlight housing. These pull off by hand or unscrew depending on the design. Allow about 15 to 20 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 LED Fog Light fog light socket.

Standard halogen headlights on the 2019 GMC Savana 3500 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 7 years old, the original bulbs on your Savana 3500 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 2019 GMC Savana 3500?
The H5054 low beam bulb on the 2019 GMC Savana 3500 is a specific fitment. There are no widely recognized cross-compatible alternatives, so make sure to purchase the exact H5054 size.
