Volkswagen Thing high beam and low beam headlight bulbs both utilize the H6024 size. The replacement chart covers 1973 to 1974 production years with corresponding bulb specifications.
The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.
The H6024 is the sole bulb type listed across all headlight positions for the Volkswagen Thing, covering both the 1973-1974 model years.
The H6024 is a 7-inch round sealed beam unit operating at 12 volts. It conforms to ANSI standards applicable in the United States and Canada.
A sealed beam unit is a self-contained assembly in which the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single glass envelope. When the filament fails, the entire unit is replaced rather than an individual bulb.
The H6024 specification applies equally to both the high beam and low beam headlight positions on the Thing, meaning a single unit type serves both functions across the vehicle's headlight system.
Because the H6024 is a sealed beam format, it is not interchangeable with modern halogen or HID bulb types that require a separate housing and socket assembly.
