Ford Consul high and low beam headlight bulbs utilize H6024 and H6006 bulb sizes across both lighting functions. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1951 to 1957.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Ford Consul uses two distinct sealed beam unit types across its 1951-1957 model years: the H6006 for 1951-1955 and the H6024 for 1956-1957.
Both the H6006 and H6024 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 H6006 is a 5x7-inch rectangular sealed beam unit operating at 12 volts, conforming to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
The H6024 is a 7-inch round sealed beam unit operating at 12 volts, also conforming to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
On the Ford Consul, the same bulb type serves both the high beam and low beam functions within a given model year, as the sealed beam unit houses both filaments in a single assembly.
The H6006 and H6024 are not interchangeable. The rectangular profile of the H6006 and the round profile of the H6024 correspond to physically different housings, making cross-substitution between the two unit types incompatible.
