Peugeot 505 high beam and low beam headlight bulbs utilize H6054 and H5001 sizes for high beam applications, with H6054 and H5006 sizes for low beam functions. The replacement chart covers 1980 to 1991 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 Peugeot 505 uses three distinct sealed beam unit types across its headlight specifications: H6054, H5001, and H5006. All three conform to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada and operate on 12V electrical systems.
The H6054 is a 5x7-inch rectangular sealed beam unit. It is the most widely specified type across the 505's headlight data, covering both high beam and low beam positions for the 1984-1991 model years.
All three unit types, H6054, H5001, and H5006, are sealed beam designs, meaning the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single assembly. When the filament fails, the entire unit requires replacement rather than an internal bulb swap.
The H5001 is a 4-inch square sealed beam unit specified for the high beam position on the Peugeot 505 for the 1980-1983 model years.
The H5006 is a 5.75-inch round sealed beam unit and appears exclusively in the low beam position for the 1980-1983 model years. It is not interchangeable with the H5001 used in the high beam position during the same period, as the two units differ in shape and size.
From 1984 onward, both the high beam and low beam positions on the 505 converged to the same H6054 unit. In the 1980-1983 period, the high and low beam positions used different unit types, H5001 and H5006 respectively, requiring separate replacement units for each function.
The rectangular profile of the H6054 differs physically from both the square H5001 and the round H5006, making cross-substitution between these types incompatible regardless of shared voltage ratings.
