Oops, sorry. Hair trigger there. Correcting myself here.
H6024 is the cheaper one, indeed 60/40, with life rating only 320 hours on
low beam.
H6014 - 60/50 -- 200/320 hrs (common standard)
H6015 - 60/50 -- 200/500 hrs (longer life)
H6024 - 60/40 -- 200/320 hrs (lesser low beam)
There are also other 6024 derivitives.
H6024 CB - 55/45 -- 100/200 hrs (I wouldn't touch it).
H6024 ST - 50/45 -- 50/150 hrs (don't know why they make these things).
H6024 XV - 65/55 -- 200/850 hrs (That's the good one).
This last one, the H6024 XV is the real sweet one with better higher power
and much longer life on low beam. This is the footnote from Sylvania web
site"
"Halogen XtraVisionT Headlights: Three times brighter! Twice the Life!
Halogen XtraVision Headlights provide three times more light on the road in
low beam mode than standard halogen headlights. They last twice as long as
standard halogens - 850 hours compared to 320 hours. - (Life at 14 volts)."
I'm not sure where the claim of three times the light comes form, but that's
what it says. The web page is here:

tchId=36&FigNumber=104<http://www.sylvaniaautocatalog.com/sylvania/ProductBro
wse_sel_Round-56.asp?BatchId=36&FigNumber=104>
I have no idea what it would cost or where to get it, but I'd like to find
out.

Thanks, the replacements are a Sylvania Halogen 60?40 @ $10. #6024
Whoo-hoo! You got the better ones.
Those are 60/55 with longer life on low beam,
850 hours vs 320 or 500 for others.
All are 200 hours on high beam.
Still only $10 each? I'm posting this on my web site.

From any auto parts store or discount department store, get the drop
in
replacement 7" halogen headlight bulbs. They will most likely be
Sylvania
or General Electric brand. Get model 6014 (replaces 6012). Be sure
it
says Halogen on the box. These will be 60/50 bulbs, 60 watts on high
beam
and 50 watts on low beam. Probably under $10 each, and decent
headlights
if you don't have a small fortune to spend.
