The Mercedes-Benz 380SE uses H6054 bulbs for both high beam and low beam headlight applications, with this particular bulb size representing the standard specification for the model. The replacement chart covers 1984 to 1985 production years and details the corresponding bulb size specifications for each headlight function.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The H6054 is an ANSI-standardized sealed beam unit used in both the high beam and low beam positions of the Mercedes-Benz 380SE across the 1984-1985 model years.
The H6054 follows a 5x7-inch rectangular sealed beam format, meaning the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single non-serviceable assembly.
Because the H6054 is a sealed beam unit rather than a bulb-and-housing system, the entire optical assembly requires replacement when the filament fails.
The H6054 operates at 12 volts and conforms to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
The shared H6054 specification across both the high beam and low beam positions indicates that the 380SE uses identical sealed beam units for each function, which is a common arrangement in rectangular sealed beam headlight systems of that format.
