The Dodge 880 high beam headlight uses an H5001 bulb size while the low beam headlight requires an H5006 bulb size. The replacement chart covers 1962 through 1965 vehicle production years with corresponding bulb size specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Dodge 880 used two distinct sealed beam headlight units across its 1962-1965 model years: the H5001 for high beam and the H5006 for low beam.
The H5001 is a 4-inch square sealed beam unit operating at 12V. It conforms to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
The H5006 is a 5.75-inch round sealed beam unit, also rated at 12V and built to the same ANSI standard applicable in the United States and Canada.
Both the H5001 and H5006 are sealed beam units, meaning the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single assembly. When the filament fails, the entire unit requires replacement rather than an internal bulb swap.
The square profile of the H5001 and the round profile of the H5006 make the two units physically incompatible with each other's housings, and one cannot be substituted for the other.
The H5001 high beam specification remained unchanged across all four model years of the Dodge 880, indicating a consistent electrical and physical requirement throughout the vehicle's production run.
The H5006 low beam specification similarly held constant across the full 1962-1965 range of the Dodge 880, reflecting the same standardized fitment as the high beam position.
