The Ford Del Rio Wagon headlight bulb sizes include H5001 and H6024 options for high beam applications, with H5006 and H6024 sizes available for low beam functions. The replacement chart covers 1957 to 1958 production years and documents bulb size specifications for these headlight configurations.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Ford Del Rio Wagon uses sealed beam headlight units across both model years covered in these specifications. Sealed beam units are self-contained assemblies in which the lens, reflector, and filament are fused together, meaning the entire unit is replaced rather than an internal bulb.
All three sealed beam types listed, the H5001, H6024, and H5006, operate on 12 volts and conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
The 1957 Ford Del Rio Wagon uses the H6024, a 7-inch round sealed beam unit, for both high beam and low beam functions. A single unit type serving both roles indicates a single-headlamp system for that year.
The 1958 model year introduced a split headlight system, with the H5001 assigned to the high beam position and the H5006 assigned to the low beam position. This reflects the dual-headlamp configuration that became federally permitted in the United States in 1958.
The H5001 is a 4-inch square sealed beam unit, while the H5006 is a 5.75-inch round sealed beam unit. These two units are not interchangeable with each other due to their differing shapes and sizes, and each occupies a dedicated position in the 1958 headlamp assembly.
The H6024 used on the 1957 model is physically distinct from both 1958 units. Its 7-inch round format is larger than the H5006 and differs in shape from the H5001, making cross-year substitution between these units incompatible.
