Ford Sunliner high beam and low beam headlight bulbs utilize H5001, H6024, H6006, H5006 sizes depending on configuration. The replacement chart covers 1952 to 1960 production years with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
All headlight bulb sizes listed for the Ford Sunliner across the 1952-1960 model years are sealed beam units, meaning the entire lens, reflector, and filament assembly is replaced as a single unit rather than replacing an internal bulb.
All four sealed beam types used across these model years operate on 12V and conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
The H6006, a 5x7-inch rectangular sealed beam, is the most frequently appearing type in the specifications, covering both high and low beam positions for the 1952-1955 model years.
The 1957-1956 Ford Sunliner used the H6024, a 7-inch round sealed beam, for both high and low beam positions, making it the only configuration in these specifications where a single bulb type serves both functions simultaneously.
For the 1958-1960 model years, the high beam and low beam positions use different sealed beam types: the H5001, a 4-inch square unit, handles the high beam, while the H5006, a 5.75-inch round unit, handles the low beam.
The H5001 and H5006 are physically distinct in shape and size, which means they are not interchangeable with each other despite both being used on the same vehicle in the 1958-1960 model years.
The H6006 and H6024 are also non-interchangeable due to differing form factors, a rectangular versus a round housing, even though both are ANSI-standard 12V sealed beam units.
Because all listed headlight types are sealed beam units governed by ANSI standards, replacement units from different manufacturers are generally compatible as long as the correct ANSI designation is matched.
