[muppet_man67]

The bulb has blown in one of my headlamps, theyv are sealed beam and as I didnt install them I have know idea where to buy replacement ones. I dont think I have ever seen them anywhere.

I need to find where to get them from. and If I can find a place to buy 1 I will know where to buy both.

Go to Bursons and by semi sealed lights. You can then run normal (H4) light globes. I bought a pair of them a while back for $28.

likewise burson/repco/autobarn etc will stock sealed beam lights.

Although they're generally not as bright as semi sealed ones, they don't fill up with water when your car goes for a swim.

cool thanks for that i got one for ten bucks. do they make sealed beam headlights with halogen bulbs etc? would be a good option for an upgrade.

yep, I just fitted 2 sealed quartz h4's into frog.
Only 55/70 but good enough, cost me $20 each from R & E Auto in Croydon

Bosch Sealed beams at autobarn are 20 bucks each. My mate has a 97 sierra and he got a patrol non sealed beam. 15 bucks at the wrecker with a globe.

are they a big jump over your originals?

Sure are. Not skin melting like expensive stuff can be, but very much whiter, brighter and better spread/pattern.

Some were 55/60 at a few bux more, go figure?

And of course there is dear stuff too...but for me its not just the cost to buy, but possible track damage needing replacement costs.

PS I had wired in high current wires and relays years ago, for when this time came....but all my terminals needed cleaning and derusting, too.

isnt 55/70 just the normal wattage? thats what I got but they are only a normal bulb.

I just checked. New h4 quartz are 55/70.

My old normal sealed beams were Left 50/60 Koito and Right 50/75 Stanley ...never knew there was choices.

Power usage is the same with me new sealed h4's but the light output is better.

You can get massively bright h4's but then you can't use them in convoy.

I also got some $25 Kmart driving lights, as high beam still needed a help.
