Volkswagen Super Beetle high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize the H6024 bulb size. The replacement chart covers vehicle production spanning 1971 to 1980.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The Volkswagen Super Beetle uses the H6024 bulb size for both high beam and low beam headlights across all model years from 1971-1980.
The H6024 is an ANSI-standard sealed beam unit recognized in the United States and Canada, operating at 12 volts.
A sealed beam unit integrates the filament, reflector, and lens into a single glass assembly, meaning the entire unit is replaced rather than an internal bulb.
The H6024 follows a 7-inch round form factor, which is a standardized size shared across many North American vehicle applications of that era, making cross-brand substitution possible provided the unit meets ANSI specifications.
Because the high beam and low beam positions both call for the H6024, the Super Beetle uses identical units in both headlight sockets, with beam pattern differentiation handled by the internal filament configuration of the sealed beam itself.
The ANSI standardization of the H6024 means that units from multiple manufacturers are generally interchangeable, as the electrical and physical specifications are governed by a common industry standard rather than a proprietary design.
