The Mercedes-Benz 230SL uses H6024 bulbs for both high beam and low beam headlight applications, with the bulb size remaining consistent across both functions. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1963 to 1967, detailing bulb specifications for each model year.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The H6024 is an ANSI-standard sealed beam unit used in North American markets, operating at 12 volts with a 7-inch round form factor.
As a sealed beam design, the H6024 integrates the filament, reflector, and lens into a single unit, meaning the entire assembly is replaced rather than an internal bulb.
The Mercedes-Benz 230SL uses the H6024 for both high beam and low beam headlight positions across all specified model years, 1963-1967.
The shared H6024 fitment across both beam positions indicates the vehicle relies on a dual-filament sealed beam configuration, where a single unit serves both lighting functions.
The H6024 designation follows ANSI standardization, which means the unit conforms to a fixed specification shared across many North American vehicle applications of the same era, allowing cross-brand interchangeability within that standard.
