If you go to the parts store they will look it up for you.Usually a 9007 or something like that it depends on what kind of headlights your vehicle has.If you have under 36k miles this is under warranty and the dealership should fix it for free.3 YRS.36k miles.Bumper to bumper.Look your warranty papers over.Hope this helps.Good luck.

An original equipment replacement bulb for your vehicle would be an AC DELCO part number AC9007. If you're replacing this yourself be careful not to touch the glass of the bulb because the oils from your fingerprint can shorten the life of the bulb. If you happen to touch the glass it's recommended that you clean it with rubbing alcohol. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: How to change the headlight bulb on the passenger

Step 1 - Raise the hood and remove the 4 push-in retainers that go along the top of the front grille. These are each two part retainers - remove both parts by prying with a small screwdriver. Nothing comes off here - this just makes the grille loose for maneuvering the headlight assembly around to get it in and out.
Step 2 - Remove the "bow tie" trim piece that runs from headlight to headlight thru the middle of the front grille - it is cheap plastic so do this carefully (mine looks like chrome with the Chevy 'bow tie' in the center). To do this, use a flat-bladed screwdriver and a rag (to protect the headlight). This trim part comes off - I started at the driver's side and work toward the passenger side. Place the rag below the trim on the headlight. Carefully pry up on the trim piece with the screwdriver and work the trim with your fingers until it pops out of the headlight assembly catch. There are lock tabs on both the top and bottom of this trim piece when you get to the grille area. Work your way down the trim piece by prying wherever you locate a tab and protecting with the rag as you go until the "bow tie" trim piece comes off. The headlight assembly catches are the tightest. Set it off to the side so you don't step on it or scratch it.
Step 3 - Unbolt the light assembly. There are two hex-headed screws on top and one 10MM down inside (towards the center of the car). Remove these 3 bolts.
Step 4 - Remove the assembly - There are 2 guide tabs in the lower outside part of the light assembly (opposite the 10MM screw). Wiggle the assembly while pulling out (forward). When the tabs clear, lift up on the headlight and it should be easy to work the rest of the way out to gain access to the headlamp.

Step 5 - remove and replace the bulb - it is halogen so you DO NOT touch it with your fingers because the finger oil will cause a hot spot and the bulb will burn out fast. Handle the new bulb with a clean cloth - a clean sock works well.

How do i change the driver side headlight bulb on a 2005 chevrolet equinox?

open the hood - find the 3 or 4 plastic clips that hold on the grill ( the center of the clip will pry up with a small screwdriver ) once the plastic clips are removed pull the grill towards you and gently pull on the headlight frame assembly. The grill will not come off so don't try to force it. Once you have the headlight assembly out remove the bulb that beeds replacing ( when replacing do not touch with bare skin use a rag or paper towel ) Put it all back together reversed from removing it. Hope this helps

How do you change the driver headlight in a 2005 Equinox??

raise the hood
look at the back of the headlight
you will see a plug where the wire goes into the headlight
turn the plug and the light will come out
be careful not to touch the new bulb with your bare hands or it will burn out shortly after installation.

not sure on the 2005s, but if the battery has been moved to the driver side for that year you will have to remove the battery to install the headlight.
