H15 DRL + High beam 
Light Bulb Sizes?
Anyone know the size of the bulbs of the new Cruze ?
My LT does not have LED
DLR and high beams are on the same lamp ( both hologenas ) and low light apparently is H7 . In the owner's manual does not specify the type of lamp.

Ok, now I am even more confused. Is this the light assembly for a GEN 2 2016 model? My lights look nothing like that. I have the LED light bar as my daytime running lights and a single projector style headlight. In my manual it says the headlights are "not replaceable"

I hope so. This thread is in the Gen2 section.
Okay guys I figured mine out. First off, I have a 2016 Cruze LT RS 2nd gen. It uses a single headlight bulb that is in a projector style lens that acts as both the low and high beam. The picture below shows the single headlight bulb in the outer part of the housing, the other bulb is the turn signal. The stock bulb was a Sylvania 9005 which I believe is a low beam bulb (that’s probably why they don’t light up the road more than 20 feet in front of you). When the high beams are activated, the projector lens moves to allow more light onto the road without using a second bulb. It doesn’t get brighter, there’s just more light. I just got finished replacing them with the OPT-7 flux beam X LED 9005 bulbs and it made a huge difference in looks and performance. The hardest part was getting all of the extra wiring back in the housing and getting the dust cover to fit back on. I drilled about 4 holes in to allow air to get in so it will stay cool (it says to do this). I also cut about 1/4 of the dust cover out towards the top because the heat sink is too big to allow it to fit back on all the way. Light pattern is excellent and there is no flickering. I didn’t need to use any of the extra hardware they send such as the reverse polarity wiring kit.
So again. The stock bulbs work as both high and low beam and they are Sylvania 9005’s. If you are replacing with LED’s, the 9005’s are what you need.

You use 9005. That's the bulb type you need. A 9012 won't fit. 9005 has a 20mm base and 9012 has a 22mm base. It won't fit in the hole, the tabs don't line up, and the connectors are different.
9005 is on left, 9012 on right.
Thanks for the reply. Do you have a good light pattern on your cruze? My is just so weird..compared to my friends kia Niro, well, my looks like ****..
