The Volkswagen Cabriolet high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize the H6024 size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1985 to 1993.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Volkswagen Cabriolet uses the H6024 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlights across all model years from 1985-1993.
The H6024 is an ANSI-standardized sealed beam unit, meaning the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single non-serviceable assembly. When the filament fails, the entire unit is replaced rather than an individual bulb.
The H6024 unit is a 7-inch round format, a form factor that was widely adopted in North American vehicle lighting standards and is governed by ANSI specifications applicable in both the United States and Canada.
The H6024 operates at 12 volts, consistent with the standard electrical systems found in passenger vehicles of this era.
Because the H6024 serves both the high beam and low beam positions on the Volkswagen Cabriolet, the vehicle uses a dual-filament sealed beam design, where a single unit contains separate filaments for each lighting function.
The identical H6024 specification across both beam positions means the same sealed beam unit is physically interchangeable between the high beam and low beam housings on this vehicle.
