The Jeep CJ5 uses H6024 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlight applications. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1959 to 1983.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The H6024 is the sole bulb size listed across all high beam and low beam headlight positions for the Jeep CJ5 spanning the 1959-1983 model years.
The H6024 is a 7-inch round sealed beam unit operating at 12 volts. It conforms to ANSI standards as recognized in the United States and Canada.
A sealed beam unit integrates the filament, reflector, and lens into a single fused glass assembly. Because of this construction, the entire unit is replaced rather than an internal bulb alone.
The H6024 serves both the high beam and low beam functions in the CJ5. A single sealed beam type fulfilling both lighting positions means one part number covers the full headlight assembly on each side.
The 7-inch round form factor of the H6024 is a standardized size in North American automotive lighting. This standardization historically allowed interchangeability across many vehicle makes and models that shared the same sealed beam specification.
Because the H6024 is an ANSI-standardized sealed beam, substitutes from different manufacturers are generally required to meet the same dimensional and electrical specifications, provided they carry the H6024 designation.
The 12-volt rating of the H6024 corresponds to the standard electrical system voltage used in passenger and light-duty vehicles of this era, making it directly compatible with the CJ5's electrical architecture across all listed model years.
