Ford Taunus high beam and low beam headlight bulbs utilize H6024 and H6006 sizes. The replacement chart covers 1950 through 1957 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.
The Ford Taunus headlight specifications cover model years 1950-1957 and reference two sealed beam unit types: H6006 and H6024.
Both the H6006 and H6024 are sealed beam units, meaning the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single assembly. When a 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 12V and conforming to ANSI standards recognized in the US and Canada. It serves both high beam and low beam functions on the Ford Taunus across model years 1950-1955.
The H6024 is a 7-inch round sealed beam unit, also rated at 12V and built to the same ANSI standard. It replaces the H6006 as the specified unit for both high beam and low beam functions in the 1956-1957 model years.
Because the H6006 and H6024 differ in shape and physical size, the two unit types are not interchangeable. Installing the incorrect sealed beam would result in a fitment failure at the housing level.
Both beam functions on the Ford Taunus share the same sealed beam specification within any given model year. A single unit type covers both high and low beam operation for each year listed.
The ANSI designation on both units indicates conformance to a standardized North American specification, which governs the physical interface and electrical characteristics of the sealed beam assembly.
The 12V electrical rating applies to all sealed beam units listed across the full 1950-1957 model year range of the Ford Taunus headlight specifications.
