Note on OEM Lighting: The 2025 Chevrolet Malibu primarily utilizes halogen bulbs across most trims for its exterior lighting. Higher trims or optional packages may feature LED daytime running lights (DRL) or even full LED headlamps, though this is less common for the Malibu's standard offerings. Always check your specific trim level and owner's manual for the most accurate information regarding your vehicle's original equipment.
The low and high beam headlights are typically separate halogen bulbs (H11 and 9005 respectively), housed within a reflector-style headlamp assembly. Some premium packages might offer projector-style halogen or even LED headlamps, which would utilize different bulb types or integrated LED units.
LED vs halogen upgrade considerations
Upgrading from the factory halogen bulbs to LED replacements offers several benefits, including increased brightness, a whiter light output, longer lifespan, and lower power consumption. However, there are important considerations for the 2025 Chevrolet Malibu:
- CANBUS Errors: Modern vehicles, including the Malibu, use a CANBUS (Controller Area Network Bus) system to monitor various electrical components, including lighting. When you replace a halogen bulb with an LED, the lower power draw of the LED can trick the CANBUS system into thinking the bulb is out. This can trigger
