Austin Healey Sprite high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize the H6024 bulb size for optimal illumination. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1958 to 1970, detailing bulb specifications across the model's manufacturing period.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The H6024 is the sole bulb type listed across all headlight positions in these specifications, appearing without variation across both high beam and low beam applications for the Austin Healey Sprite from 1958-1970.
The H6024 is a 7-inch round sealed beam unit operating at 12 volts, conforming to ANSI standards recognized in the United States and Canada.
As a sealed beam unit, the H6024 does not contain a replaceable bulb element. When the unit fails or degrades, the entire assembly is replaced as a single component.
The sealed beam construction of the H6024 integrates the filament, reflector, and lens into one sealed glass unit, a design that was standard practice for automotive headlighting under ANSI regulation during this era.
Because the H6024 serves both the high beam and low beam positions in these specifications, the unit contains dual filaments within a single sealed assembly, allowing it to fulfill both lighting functions.
The 7-inch round form factor of the H6024 was a federally standardized size in North America, which contributed to broad interchangeability across many vehicle makes and model years using the same housing format.
The ANSI standardization of the H6024 means that units produced by different manufacturers share the same electrical and physical specifications, provided the replacement unit also carries the H6024 designation.
