My 74 Dart has the high/low beam headlamp in one round lamp. I know SlantSixDan has recommended the GE H6024NH Nighthawk bulbs. I have found two different GE H6024NH bulbs and don't know which is the correct one to order. Which is the correct one?

GE H6024NH Nighthawk Automotive Replacement Bulb - Brand GE

or

GE Lighting H6024NH Automotive High/Low Beam Light Round Sealed Beam Nighthawk Headlight (28153) - Brand GE Lighting

I found the description for these at the website below.

It looks like some sort of database error is listing the same part twice - notice that the UPC numbers are the same for both.

If it is the same UPC item, why are the prices different?

There's 2 different ASIN codes (whatever that is)

I seem to remember that GE came out with a 'whiter' version of the NightHawk along with the original................. (that might be the difference)

Don't know which witch is which......... (you want the original version once you figure it out)

Make sure you buy the Night Hawk, H6024NH, and not the Night Hawk Sport (H6024NHS if such a lamp exists). The "sport" designates a blue glass inner bulb rather than colorless clear. The blue glass tints the light. This lets the marketeers claim the lamp puts out "whiter" light, which it does not. It in fact puts out less usable light than the untinted variety.

Am I correct to assume the Night Hawk H6024NH is the combined high/low beam bulb? One advertisement says high/low together. The other advertisement has no mention of high/low.

You are making this about nine times harder than it has to be. For crumb's sake, just order the stinkin' things!
