Match a headlight assembly to your car using your exact year, make, model, and factory light type — halogen or HID/Xenon — to confirm the housing geometry, mounting points, and wiring connector all align with your vehicle's spec.

Factory light type is the detail most buyers miss. A halogen assembly and an HID/Xenon assembly for the same vehicle year are physically different — the mounting tabs and wiring harness connectors are not interchangeable. Check your owner's manual or the markings on your current housing to confirm which type you have before ordering. JSBOYAT listings identify the exact year range and trim restriction — "halogen models only" means the mounting and connector specs are verified for halogen trims, not a general-fit guess.

  • JSBOYAT headlight assemblies specify exact compatible year ranges — not broad generation ranges.
  • Halogen and HID/Xenon factory trims use different mounting brackets and wiring connectors — they are not interchangeable.
  • Bulb type designations use industry-standard numbers: 9005 for high beam, H11 for low beam on most halogen assemblies.
  • JSBOYAT housings are engineered to OEM mounting dimensions — all bolt positions match factory hole locations without modification.
  • Compatibility is verified by year, make, model, and trim — VIN lookup or owner's manual confirms factory light type.

Step-by-Step

  1. Find your vehicle's base details: Locate the exact model year, make, model name, and body style — a 2013 Chevy Equinox LT and a 2013 Equinox LTZ can have different assemblies.
  2. Confirm your factory light type: Open the hood and read the marking stamped on your current housing or bulb socket — look for "H11," "HID," or "Xenon" to determine halogen versus HID/Xenon before searching any listing.
  3. Cross-reference your VIN if the housing markings are unreadable: Your VIN's 8th character identifies the engine trim, and your owner's manual lighting section will specify the factory headlight type for your exact build.
  4. Match against the JSBOYAT compatibility statement: Confirm the listing's year range includes your model year, your make and model match exactly, and any trim restriction — "halogen models only" — applies to your factory setup.
  5. Verify the connector and mounting spec: Confirm the listing calls out a plug-and-play harness connection with no modification required — if your vehicle uses a factory HID ballast, a halogen assembly connector will not fit without forced wiring changes.
  6. Check what's included before ordering: Confirm whether the JSBOYAT assembly ships with 9005 high beam and H11 low beam bulbs included, and whether the listing is sold as a pair or a single side — so one order covers the full install.

Examples in Practice

  • 2013 Chevy Equinox, base trim: Factory halogen setup — the JSBOYAT halogen assembly plugs directly into the OEM connector; HID-spec listings are incompatible due to different bracket tabs.
  • 2009–2014 Nissan Maxima: Some trims shipped with factory HID/Xenon, others with halogen — checking the current housing for a ballast module confirms which assembly to order before purchasing.
  • 2010–2015 Chevy Equinox halogen trim: High beam uses a 9005 bulb, low beam uses H11 — both included with the JSBOYAT assembly, no separate parts run needed.
  • 2006 Toyota Tacoma mid-cycle refresh: The year boundary matters — 2005 and 2006 Tacomas use different mounting geometry; ordering by year range rather than generation prevents a wrong-fit return.
  • Dodge Charger with projector housing: Buyer confirms halogen projector trim via owner's manual before ordering — the JSBOYAT projector-style assembly matches OEM bracket positions and wiring without modification.
