The Mercedes-Benz 220 uses H6024 bulbs for both high beam and low beam headlight applications, with this size representing the unique bulb specification for the model. The replacement chart covers vehicle production years spanning 1968 to 1973, detailing bulb size requirements across the model's manufacturing period.
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 type listed across all headlight positions for the Mercedes-Benz 220, covering model years 1968-1973 for both high beam and low beam applications.
The H6024 is an ANSI-standardized sealed beam unit, meaning the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single assembly rather than a separate replaceable bulb within a housing.
When the filament fails in an H6024 unit, the entire sealed beam assembly requires replacement, as no internal component is serviceable on its own.
The H6024 follows a 7-inch round form factor, which is a regulated ANSI standard shared across many North American market vehicles of that era, making cross-brand fitment possible where the same standard applies.
The H6024 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the 12V electrical systems standard in passenger vehicles of this period.
The Mercedes-Benz 220 uses identical H6024 units for both the high beam and low beam positions, indicating a dual-filament or interchangeable sealed beam configuration rather than separate dedicated units for each function.
The ANSI designation on the H6024 reflects a standardized specification applicable to the United States and Canadian markets, which governs the unit's optical and electrical performance requirements.
