The Pontiac Torpedo high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize the H6006 size. The replacement chart covers 1950 to 1953 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 Pontiac Torpedo uses the H6006 bulb size across both the high beam and low beam headlight positions for the 1950-1953 model years.
The H6006 is a 5x7-inch rectangular sealed beam unit, meaning the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single assembly rather than a separate replaceable bulb inside a housing.
When a sealed beam unit fails, the entire unit is replaced rather than an individual filament or bulb component.
The H6006 operates on a 12-volt electrical system and conforms to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
Because the Pontiac Torpedo uses the same H6006 unit for both high and low beam positions, the two headlight functions are served by a single sealed beam type rather than separate bulb types for each function.
