Plymouth Satellite high beam and low beam headlight bulbs utilize H5001, H6024, and H5006 sizes depending on configuration and bulb type. The replacement chart covers 1965 through 1974 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 Plymouth Satellite uses three distinct sealed beam headlight types across its model years: H5001, H5006, and H6024. All three conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada and operate on 12V electrical systems.
Each of these bulb types is a sealed beam unit, meaning the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single assembly. When a filament fails, the entire unit requires replacement rather than an internal bulb swap.
The H5001 is a 4-inch square sealed beam unit designated for the high beam headlight position on the Plymouth Satellite for model years 1967-1974.
The H5006 is a 5.75-inch round sealed beam unit and serves the low beam headlight position for the same 1967-1974 model year range. Its round form factor differs from the square H5001, making the two units physically incompatible with each other's housings despite both appearing in the same vehicle years.
The H6024 is a 7-inch round sealed beam unit and covers both the high beam and low beam headlight positions for the 1965-1966 Plymouth Satellite. Its use across both positions indicates a two-headlight system for those years, as opposed to the four-headlight arrangement implied by the separate high and low beam units used from 1967 onward.
The shift from the H6024 to separate H5001 and H5006 units beginning in 1967 reflects a change in headlight system configuration. The 7-inch round H6024 is not interchangeable with either the 4-inch square H5001 or the 5.75-inch round H5006 due to differences in both shape and physical size.
