The Dodge 440 headlight bulb specifications include H6024 and H5001 sizes for high beam applications, along with H6024 and H5006 sizes for low beam functions. The replacement chart covers 1963 to 1964 model years with corresponding bulb size data.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Dodge 440 uses sealed beam headlight units across both model years listed, meaning the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single assembly that is replaced as a whole rather than accepting a separate replaceable bulb.
All three sealed beam types referenced in these specifications, the H6024, H5001, and H5006, conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, and all operate on a 12-volt electrical system.
The H6024 is a 7-inch round sealed beam unit. In the 1964 Dodge 440, it serves as both the high beam and low beam headlight, indicating a two-headlight system where a single unit handles both functions.
The 1963 Dodge 440 uses two distinct sealed beam units depending on function. The H5001, a 4-inch square unit, handles the high beam, while the H5006, a 5.75-inch round unit, handles the low beam. This points to a four-headlight system with dedicated units for each beam type.
The H5001 is notable for its square form factor, which is less common than round sealed beam housings. Square sealed beam units were used in specific multi-headlight configurations where packaging constraints influenced the housing shape.
Because the H6024, H5001, and H5006 are physically different in both shape and size, they are not interchangeable with one another despite sharing the same ANSI-standard sealed beam construction and voltage rating.
