Volkswagen Squareback headlight bulbs utilize H6024 size for both high beam and low beam applications. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1969 to 1973.
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 United States and Canada. It operates at 12 volts and measures 7 inches in round form, functioning as a self-contained lamp rather than a housing that accepts a replaceable bulb.
Because the H6024 is a sealed beam unit, the entire assembly is replaced when the light fails. There is no separate bulb inside to swap out independently of the lens and reflector.
The Volkswagen Squareback uses the H6024 for both the high beam and low beam headlight positions across the 1969-1973 model years, meaning a single bulb type covers both functions on the vehicle.
The use of one sealed beam type across both beam positions suggests the Squareback relies on a dual-filament design within the H6024 unit, which is standard for this class of sealed beam, allowing both high and low beam output from the same physical assembly.
The H6024 format was a widely adopted standard in North American automotive lighting during this period, which generally means replacement units are interchangeable across different vehicle makes that share the same specification, provided the mounting configuration is compatible.
