What bulbs are in 2014 Silverado?
Most 2014 Silverado models use halogen headlamps for the headlights and fog lights, with an optional HID headlight setup on higher trims. Exterior signaling and interior lighting rely on standard automotive bulbs; the exact bulb types vary by trim and options, so verify on your vehicle with the owner's manual or a parts diagram.
Headlights and fog lights
The following list covers the typical exterior lighting configuration for many 2014 Silverado models. Exact bulb codes can differ if your truck has HID headlights or other optional lighting packages.
- Low-beam headlights: H11 halogen (with some trims offering an HID option using D1S or D2S in projector units).
- High-beam headlights: 9005 (HB3) halogen on standard setups; if HID, the high-beam function may be integrated differently depending on the package.
- Fog lights: H11 halogen on most halogen-equipped trims; some high-end trims with HID may not include fogs or may use a separate ballast-based setup.
In short, if your Silverado uses halogen headlights, you’re most likely dealing with H11 low beams, 9005 high beams, and H11 fogs. If your truck has the HID option, bulbs switch to D1S or D2S with the appropriate ballast.
Exterior signaling and rear illumination
Bulbs for signaling, taillights, and rear illumination are typically standard across most trucks, but exact bases can vary by trim. Below is a general guide for common configurations.
- Front turn signals: 3157 amber (dual-filament) bulbs are commonly used.
- Rear turn signals and brake/taillights: 3157 (or similar multi-filament bulb) in many configurations.
- Backup lights: 921 wedge bulb is commonly used for reverse illumination.
- License plate light: 194 wedge bulb (or a closely related W5W/168 style in some markets).
Note: Some market-specific or trim-specific variants may use slightly different bulb bases (such as 3156 vs. 3157) for signaling or taillights. Always confirm with your owner's manual or by removing the lamp assembly to verify the exact base before purchasing replacements.
Interior and auxiliary lighting
Interior cabin lights, map lights, and cargo lights use small wedge bulbs that are easy to replace, but the exact part numbers can vary by fixture and trim. The most common replacements are wedge-based bulbs as listed below.
- Map lights and dome lights: 194 wedge or 168 wedge bulbs depending on the fixture.
- Cargo area and glove box lights: typically 194 or 168 wedge bulbs depending on the assembly.
When replacing interior bulbs, consult the vanity or owner’s manual for the precise bulb code tied to each interior lamp assembly.
Optional HID/LED configurations and daytime running lights
Some 2014 Silverado trims offered optional HID headlights or LED daytime running lights (DRLs). If your truck has HID headlights, the bulbs are D1S or D2S with a ballast. If your model uses LED DRLs, they are built into the headlight cluster and are not serviceable as replaceable bulbs.
- HID headlights (optional on certain trims): D1S or D2S bulbs with ballast.
- LED daytime running lights (if equipped): integrated LEDs, not user-replaceable as traditional bulbs.
Confirm whether your specific truck is equipped with HID or LED DRLs by checking the window sticker, VIN-specific build sheet, or the dealer's diagnostics.
Summary
The 2014 Silverado generally relies on halogen bulbs for headlights (low beam H11, high beam 9005) and fog lights, with HID options available on higher trims (D1S/D2S with ballast). Exterior signaling uses standard bulbs such as 3157 for turns and taillights, 921 for backups, and 194 for license plate illumination. Interior lighting typically uses wedge bulbs like 194 or 168. Because bulb types depend on trim and options, verify the exact configuration for your vehicle via the owner's manual or a parts diagram, or consult a dealer with your VIN for precise guidance.

Are H11 and H7 bulbs the same?
If you're in a rush, let us save you some time - H11 and H7 are not the same bulb, you cannot replace one with the other, and neither is better than the other, they simply have different designs and fit on different vehicles and/or different beams.
