The Renault R16 headlight bulb uses an H6024 size for both high beam and low beam applications. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1969 to 1972.
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-standardized sealed beam unit used in both the high beam and low beam headlight positions of the Renault R16 across the 1969-1972 model years.
The H6024 sealed beam unit operates on 12 volts and follows a 7-inch round form factor, which was a regulated standard in the United States and Canada during this period.
Unlike bulb-and-reflector assemblies, the H6024 is a sealed beam unit, meaning the filament, reflector, and lens are fused into a single non-serviceable housing. When the filament fails, the entire unit requires replacement rather than just an internal bulb.
The use of a single bulb type across both the high beam and low beam positions on the Renault R16 indicates that the vehicle used a dual-filament or dual-unit sealed beam arrangement rather than separate bulb types for each function.
The H6024 designation falls under ANSI standardization, which means the unit conforms to fixed dimensional and electrical specifications shared across multiple vehicle makes, allowing for broad parts availability within the North American market.
