The Jeep Wrangler high beam and low beam headlight bulbs utilize 9008, H6024, or H6054 bulb sizes depending on model generation. The replacement chart covers 1987 through 2020 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 Jeep Wrangler headlight specifications span three distinct bulb types across its model history: the 9008 halogen capsule bulb, the H6024 round sealed beam unit, and the H6054 rectangular sealed beam unit.
The 9008 is a dual-filament halogen bulb rated at 12V with a 65W high beam filament and a 55W low beam filament, fitted with a P26t base. Its dual-filament design means a single bulb serves both high and low beam functions, which is reflected in the Wrangler specifications where both beam positions share the same 9008 designation for 2007-2020.
For 2017-2020, the 9008 fitment carries a "With Halogen Capsule Headlamps" qualifier, indicating that this bulb size applies only to vehicles equipped with that specific headlamp configuration rather than to all units produced in those years.
The H6024 is a 7-inch round sealed beam unit operating at 12V. Unlike the 9008, it is not a replaceable capsule bulb; the entire headlamp assembly is the serviceable component. The Jeep Wrangler used this unit across 1997-2006.
The H6054 is a 5x7-inch rectangular sealed beam unit, also operating at 12V and also replaced as a complete assembly rather than as an internal bulb. It was specified for the Wrangler from 1987-1995.
All three bulb types conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada, placing them within a standardized sizing and performance framework common to North American automotive lighting.
The H6024 and H6054 are both sealed beam units, meaning the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single non-serviceable housing. This construction differs fundamentally from the 9008, where only the halogen capsule is replaced while the headlamp housing remains in place.
The H6024 and H6054 sealed beam units each handle both high and low beam output within their single assemblies, paralleling the dual-filament function of the 9008 but through a structurally different and non-interchangeable format.
