The Edsel Villager uses an H5001 bulb size for high beam headlights and an H5006 bulb size for low beam headlights. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 1958 to 1960 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 Edsel Villager uses the H5001 sealed beam unit for high beam headlights across all three model years, 1958-1960, with no variation in specification across that span.
The H5001 is a 4-inch square sealed beam unit operating at 12 volts, conforming to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada. The entire unit is replaced rather than an internal filament or capsule.
Low beam headlights on the Villager are specified as H5006 for 1958-1960, maintaining the same consistency as the high beam fitment across those years.
The H5006 is a 5.75-inch round sealed beam unit, also rated at 12 volts and built to the same ANSI standard as the H5001. Like the H5001, it is a non-serviceable assembly requiring full unit replacement.
The physical form factor differs between the two bulb types: the H5001 is square while the H5006 is round, meaning the two units are not interchangeable despite sharing the same voltage rating and standards body.
Sealed beam technology, as represented by both the H5001 and H5006, integrates the reflector, lens, and filament into a single hermetically sealed glass envelope, which distinguishes it from later headlight designs that use replaceable bulb capsules within a separate housing.
