The Ford E-250 high beam and low beam headlight bulb sizes include 9008, H6054, and 9007 options across different model generations. The replacement chart covers 1975 through 2014 production years 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 Ford E-250 headlight specifications cover two distinct headlamp system types across the model's production range: halogen capsule headlamps and sealed beam headlamps. Vehicles equipped with halogen capsule systems use a replaceable bulb, while those with sealed beam systems require replacement of the entire lens-and-reflector unit.
The H6054 is a 5x7-inch rectangular sealed beam unit rated at 12V. It serves as both the high beam and low beam source in sealed beam-equipped Ford E-250 models from 1979-2014, as the unit handles both functions within a single assembly.
The H6024, a 7-inch round sealed beam unit also rated at 12V, is specified for the Ford E-250 in 1975-1978. Like the H6054, it is not a replaceable bulb; the entire unit is the serviceable component.
The 9007 and 9008 are both dual-filament halogen bulbs sharing the same 12V, 65W/55W power rating, where 65W serves the high beam filament and 55W serves the low beam filament. Despite identical wattage ratings, the two types use different base connectors: the 9007 uses a PX29t base, while the 9008 uses a P26t base, making them physically non-interchangeable.
On halogen capsule-equipped Ford E-250 models from 1992-2007, the specified bulb is the 9007. From 2008-2014, the specification shifts to the 9008. Because the PX29t and P26t bases are not compatible with each other, the correct type must be matched to the headlamp housing present on the vehicle.
The 9007 and 9008 each serve both the high beam and low beam functions within a single bulb, made possible by their dual-filament construction. This means one bulb per housing covers both beam modes in halogen capsule headlamp configurations.
The H6054 sealed beam unit is specified across a notably long portion of the Ford E-250's production range, appearing in both high beam and low beam positions for model years 1979-2014 on vehicles with sealed beam headlamps.
All four bulb types listed in the specifications, the 9007, 9008, H6054, and H6024, conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada, indicating standardized physical and electrical specifications within those markets.
