Question 2005 Dakota: Single Beam Headlights?

I just acquired a 2005 Dakota SLT 4x4 4.7L, which I'm stoked about. It is currently at the repair shop getting a new Transfer Case. Here's my question: Are the headlights Single Beam? That is, a separate bulb for Lo-Beam and a separate bulb for Hi-Beam?

No. One bulb. Two filaments.

3rd Gen Dakota's use a bi-filament bulb, so high and low beam are on the same bulb.

Thanks a mil for your help!


Ok now, my newly acquired 2005 Dakota is in the shop. So we have bulb "A" which is a High/Low H13 bulb. My question is, what is the bulb designated by "B" ? Is it an H13 with High/Low as well?

That would be the Turn Signal bulb, which is a 3157NA bulb.

The little light that goes "blink, blink, blink" when you put your directionals on.
