Dodge Custom high beam and low beam headlight bulb sizes include H5001, H6024, and H6006 options, with replacement specifications varying by bulb size across different production configurations. The chart covers 1954 through 1961 model years and documents headlight bulb size data for this vehicle generation.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The H5001 and H5006 sealed beam units appear across the widest range of years in these specifications, covering the Dodge Custom high beam and low beam headlights respectively for the 1957-1961 model years.
The H5001 is a 4-inch square sealed beam unit operating at 12V and conforming to ANSI standards applicable in both the United States and Canada. It functions exclusively as a dedicated high beam unit in these specifications.
The H5006 is a 5.75-inch round sealed beam unit, also 12V and ANSI-standardized. It serves as the dedicated low beam counterpart to the H5001 across the same 1957-1961 model years.
The H6024 is a 7-inch round sealed beam unit rated at 12V. It is notable for serving both the high beam and low beam positions on the 1956 Dodge Custom, meaning a single unit type handles both functions for that year.
The H6006 is a 5x7-inch rectangular sealed beam unit rated at 12V. It covers both the high beam and low beam positions for the 1954-1955 model years, again with one unit type fulfilling both roles.
All four bulb types in these specifications are sealed beam units, meaning the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single assembly. Replacement requires swapping the entire unit rather than an internal bulb component.
A fitment distinction exists between the 1956 and 1957 model years. The 1956 Dodge Custom uses the H6024 for both beam positions, while the 1957 model transitions to separate H5001 and H5006 units for high and low beams respectively, making these years non-interchangeable.
All sealed beam types listed conform to ANSI standards shared across the United States and Canada, indicating cross-border parts compatibility within those two markets for each respective unit.
