Dodge Polara high beam headlight bulbs measure H5001 in size, while low beam headlight bulbs measure H5006, with each bulb size corresponding to specific lighting functions. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 1960 to 1973.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Dodge Polara uses the H5001 sealed beam unit for high beam headlights across all model years from 1960-1973.
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 entire unit is replaced when the light fails, as the bulb is not a separate serviceable component within it.
The H5006 sealed beam unit fills the low beam headlight position across all Polara model years from 1960-1973.
The H5006 is a 5.75-inch round sealed beam unit, also rated at 12V and built to the same ANSI standard as the H5001. Like the H5001, the H5006 is replaced as a complete unit rather than containing a removable bulb.
The H5001 and H5006 are physically distinct units. The square profile of the H5001 and the round profile of the H5006 make the two types non-interchangeable between the high beam and low beam positions.
Both sealed beam types share the same 12V operating voltage, which reflects the Polara's 12-volt electrical system across the full 1960-1973 production span covered in these specifications.
