The BMW 1600 high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize the H6024 size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1969 to 1971.
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 for the BMW 1600, appearing in both high beam and low beam applications for the 1969-1971 model years.
The H6024 is a 7-inch round sealed beam unit operating at 12 volts, conforming to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
As a sealed beam unit, the H6024 is not a replaceable bulb in the conventional sense. When the light source fails, the entire sealed unit requires replacement rather than an internal filament or capsule.
The high beam and low beam headlight positions on the BMW 1600 share the same H6024 specification across all three listed model years, indicating that a single unit type serves both functions rather than separate dedicated bulbs for each beam pattern.
