Aftermarket Headlight Bulb Colors

Probably the biggest choice you will make when choosing headlight bulbs is what color to get, as light color will be the most visibly obvious effect on your Tracker.

The White Replacement Headlight Bulb: The Popular Choice

Sometimes incorrectly called blue headlight bulbs because of their blue tint, super white bulbs use the blue as a filter to produce a clean white light. They emulate white sunlight with color temperature of around 5,000K. Since they produce a clean color without any aggressive tint, they are a low key upgrade for a cleaner nighttime drive. They are by far the preferred choice for Chevy Tracker low beam and high beam replacements. They are also the 2nd most popular Tracker fog light bulb color option.

Types: Nokya Arctic White, Nokya Cosmic White (Ion tint), PIAA Xtreme White, and PIAA Intense White

The Purple Replacement Headlight Bulb: Euro Styling Favorite

Purple is the color of choice for Tracker owners going for the Euro style look. Emulating the purplish tint that is produced by German OEM Xenon HID Bulbs, they provide a stylish white with a strong hint of violet. They are the perfect complement to red hued neon accents (i.e., pink, red, purple).

Types: Nokya Arctic Purple, PIAA Super Plasma GT-X

The Yellow Replacement Headlight / Fog light Bulb: JDM Styling and Universal Safety

Yellow is the only color of aftermarket headlight / fog light bulb for your Tracker that can be considered a safety upgrade. Unlike other colors of light, yellow light actually works better in snow, fog, and rain since it does not create glare when reflected off of those surfaces. That’s why yellow is the go-to choice for your Chevy Tracker fog light or high beam bulbs. They have a small similarity to your Tracker’s OEM headlight bulb color, so they can also be considered a low key upgrade for your Tracker’s low beams as well.

Types: Nokya Arctic Yellow, PIAA Plasma Yellow (white / ion yellow)

Brand Comparison: PIAA vs. Nokya

There are many aftermarket headlight and fog light bulbs on the market, but PIAA and Nokya are hands down the best.

Which Bulb does your Chevy Tracker’s Headlight or Fog light use?

We try to keep our database as updated as possible, but we may not have the exact bulb application listed for your Tracker headlight or fog light. In these cases, we recommend the following:

• Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see if it lists the replacement bulbs you should use for your headlights or fog lights (this may not work with aftermarket headlights or fog lights).
• Using clean gloves and not touching the glass, uninstall a stock bulb and look for a part number (usually printed or inscribed on the base).
• Check the front of your lamp to see if the part number is inscribed on the face of the lamp below where the bulb rests.

If all else fails please use our bulb identification chart and list of identifying features. Please note that while we try to list all types of bulbs, please use caution as there are other types available.

Also, you can identify the filament count by looking inside the glass. Each coil of springs is one filament. Dual filament have the high and low beams in a single bulb.

How to Install Chevy Tracker Bulbs

Depending on which type of bulb you are installing on your Tracker Headlamp Low Beam, High Beam, or Fog Light, the installation process should be pretty simple. If you are having trouble figuring out how to work with a certain type of bulb, please use this list of tips:

General:
Please make sure your lights have been off for at least 5-10 minutes before attempting to install. The glass gets extremely hot and could take some time to cool down.

Make sure your Tracker is off and parked on a level surface. For added safety, you could disconnect your positive battery terminal to make sure you do not damage your electrical system. This is also a good idea for newer model cars that throw a check engine light when you replace your headlight bulbs.

If any dirt or oil (including skin oil) gets on the glass of the bulb it could cause the bulb to overheat and blow prematurely. For this reason, please make sure to wear clean gloves and avoid touching the glass.

Installing a H4 bulb in your Chevy Tracker: These bulbs use a metal base that is usually held in by means of a small metal clip. Disconnect the wire harness from the bulb. Usually, you can then push in one end of the retainer clip to free the bulb, then unlock it by swinging it open. Then, carefully take out the stock bulb without scratching against the surface of the installation hole. Place your stock bulbs into the PIAA or Nokya package for emergency use.

Then with clean gloves on and touching only the base, rotate the bulb until it is the proper orientation to fit in the installation area (look for the flat side or tabs). Hold the bulb in, and then swing the clip back underneath the bulb locking it in. Reinstall the harness (and the battery if disconnected).

Test to make sure the bulb lights up and is properly locked into place. Readjust your headlights (usually by gears located on top of or behind the headlight) if necessary. If you get a check engine light, try disconnecting your battery for 5 minutes and then reconnecting it to reset the computer.

Chevy Tracker Headlight Bulb / Tracker Fog Light Bulb Frequently Asked Questions

Is the price listed for a single Tracker bulb or is it for the pair?

All the PIAA and Nokya bulbs we sell for your Tracker are sold by the pair. By paying the listed price, you get both bulbs. We do not have the bulbs packaged for individual sale.

How long will these PIAA / Nokya bulbs last in my Chevy Tracker?

Generally speaking, if the bulbs are installed properly without leaving any dirt or oil on the surface, you could expect them to last 1-2 years. If you have any blowouts within the first couple of months, please let us know and we will be happy to replace them for you.

Do you carry BLUE headlight or fog light bulbs for my Chevy Tracker?

There are only a few companies that produce truly BLUE light bulbs (not super white with a blue tint, but actually royal blue). We do not carry these types of bulbs as the coating is usually very dark resulting in a very dim beam, making them a safety hazard.

Which bulbs are better: Nokya, Sylvania, Luminics, etc. ?

Considering the price, Nokya bulbs are by far the best bargain we have available for your Tracker fog lights or headlights. Sylvania are very pale color-wise (even worse than PIAA), Luminics have an overall higher defect ratio, and most other brands do not stack up to Nokya quality (let alone PIAA).

Will these bulbs burn the wire harnesses on my Chevy Tracker?

Your Tracker’s stock wire harness is not designed to withstand continuous extended usage. For that reason, we offer Nokya Replacement Harnesses to ensure long term proper lighting on your Tracker. They are also a far cheaper alternative to buying Tracker factory harnesses which lack the heat capacity of the Nokya Tracker harnesses.

Are these bulbs brighter than my Chevy Tracker’s stock Headlight / Foglight bulbs?

No. Contrary to popular belief, aftermarket bulbs add color to your high beams / low beams / fog lights by adding a tint to the glass. This tint results in a nicer beam, but blocks out a small amount of light, resulting in a slightly dimmer beam than your stock clear Tracker bulb would have. The color comes at the price of a LITTLE bit of brightness, but most people do not notice the difference.

Why Should I Buy Aftermarket Bulbs for My Chevy Tracker’s Headlights / Fog lights?

First off, the stock bulbs on your Tracker are going to wear out eventually. Replacing your bulbs with aftermarket headlight bulbs (or fog light bulbs) and keeping your OEM headlight bulbs for spares can be a good way to make sure you are always driving safe and minimize your chances of getting a time wasting fix-it ticket. Also, changing your headlight bulbs can be an inexpensive, quick, and easy way to give your Tracker a nice personalized touch that unlike many upgrades, you can actually SEE while driving.
