The 2015-2023 Dodge Charger came with several factory headlight packages, including halogen, HID xenon and, on some models, LED. Because the wiring differs between these packages, swapping one headlight style for another is not always a simple bolt-on job.
A common question from Charger owners is:
Can you install halogen headlights on a 2015-2023 Dodge Charger that came with factory HID headlights?
Yes. The factory HID wiring is different from the wiring halogen headlights use, so you need a conversion harness made for this swap.
Quick Answer
- Use the 2015-2023 Dodge Charger HID to Halogen Headlight Conversion Wiring Adapter Set to connect halogen headlight assemblies to the factory HID wiring.
- It is only for Chargers that came with factory HID xenon headlights. It does not fit factory halogen or factory LED cars.
- It works with OEM halogen headlights or aftermarket headlights made for halogen applications with OEM style pinouts.
- Plug and play. No cutting or splicing.
- The kit is one left and one right harness. HEADLIGHTS NOT INCLUDED.

Why Convert from HID to Halogen Headlights?
Common reasons include:
- Replacing damaged HID headlights with halogen assemblies
- Installing aftermarket headlights built for halogen applications
- Returning the car to a halogen headlight setup
Whether you use OEM halogen headlights or aftermarket housings made for halogen bulbs, the factory HID wiring has to be adapted correctly.
Why Won't Halogen Headlights Plug Into an HID Charger?
The headlights mount to the same car, but the electrical setup is different. Factory HID headlights use different connectors and wiring than halogen assemblies, so the factory HID connectors are not made to run halogen headlights directly.
A conversion harness bridges that difference and leaves the factory wiring as it is. For more on why this happens, read Do I Need a Headlight Conversion Harness?
What Does the Conversion Harness Do?
The harness connects the factory HID wiring to the replacement halogen headlight assemblies. It:
- Adapts the factory HID connectors
- Corrects the wiring layout for halogen headlights
- Leaves the factory wiring intact
- Removes the need for cutting and splicing
OEM and Aftermarket Halogen Headlights
This harness works with:
- OEM Dodge Charger halogen headlight assemblies
- Aftermarket headlights designed for halogen applications
If you are installing aftermarket headlights, check that they use OEM style connector pinouts. Headlights with modified or non OEM wiring may not work with this harness.
